SuccessConnects
Connect with an Academic Success Partner (ASP)
Second-year scholars are coached by an Academic Success Partner (ASP) - a junior or senior-level student with exceptional academic and leadership skills.
Your ASP will...
- be a peer coach with insight into resources and opportunities most relevant to you
- have the flexibility to accommodate your schedule and can meet around campus
- connect you with other scholars and the broader university community
Are you in your 3rd year of undergrad or higher?
Do want to give back?
Meet the 2023-2024 Academic Success Partners!

I chose to become an ASP because I want to help U-M scholars by supporting and equipping them with resources to enhance their college experience. I want my scholars to know that there is always someone cheering them on and dedicated to their success.

I became an ASP because mentorship and SuccessConnects are two things I am passionate about, and I wanted to combine the things I love doing. I cannot wait to help my scholars navigate the journey that is UMich and also learn from them as well!

I know it could be overwhelming transitioning to college, so I want to assist all students by navigating different resources and supporting them with academic and non-academic life.

I am a third-year ASP and have loved every second of it. I became an ASP because I wanted to make a difference in the lives of students who come from diverse backgrounds. I enjoy helping them navigate through college by lending them a hand through their personal, social, and academic challenges during their college experience. I am very excited to meet my students and for the upcoming year.

I understand how overwhelming it is to transition to college and navigate the opportunities and resources available. As an ASP I hope to help bridge the gap between the scholars and their potentials. Let’s build a community that supports each other on our journey to success!
