Peer Success Coaching

Peer Success Coaches are upper-year students working in the Student Success Centre who support their peers by sharing knowledge and experience.

In 2024-25, Saint Mary’s introduced its first designated Accessibility Peer Support Coach, working in collaboration with the Fred Smithers Centre and the Student Success Centre, to support students with disabilities and accessibility allies. 

What can the Peer Success Coach help with?

Coaches can offer a student perspective on common student questions including: 

• How can I manage my time and course work better? 

• How do I stay organized when things get busy? 

• Where can I find on campus resources? 

• How can I get involved? 

• Can I just chat with someone about being at SMU and/or the Fred Smithers Centre for Student Accessibility?

To connect with the Peer Success Coach you can email them at peercoaching@smu.ca, or make an appointment using the online booking page.
