The Center for Academic Success and Transition (CAST) is a campus resource focused on supporting students as they navigate the academic and personal demands of college. Their office offers resources such as Academic Success Coaching to support graduate student success during their time at UNL.

Through one-on-one coaching, we work with students on things like:

Time management and weekly structure — figuring out how to realistically plan your time
Prioritizing and managing long-term projects — breaking big goals into workable steps
Work/life balance and stress management — building habits that feel sustainable, not exhausting
Talking through advisor/PI relationships, imposter feelings, and academic pressure — with a neutral, confidential coach outside your department

Coaching is personal, judgment free, and focused on helping students succeed in ways aligned with individual needs rather than a single approach.

If you would like to meet with a CAST Coach, you can schedule a session here: https://success.unl.edu/academic-support/coaching/

If you want to learn more about CAST, you can do that through their website: https://success.unl.edu/

The mission of CAST Coaching is to empower students to thrive academically, personally, and professionally. Through personalized support and guidance, our coaches help students discover their strengths and overcome challenges on the path to success in order to reach their full potential.Schedule a C...
