The best performers, the best singers, the best athletes, the best writers, the best executives — they have one thing in common: great coaches. The Muhlenberg College coaching program pairs every incoming student with a personalized team who ensures they maximize their potential and take advantage of holistic opportunities for personal growth and professional development. 

Providing 360-degree support for every student from the moment they arrive on campus, the program builds on Muhlenberg's robust academic advising by pairing students with a career counselor and college life coach in addition to their faculty advisors.
