The impact of the S4S coaching project on student wellbeing and resilienceSamenvatting
The first year of study is very exciting for many students. Everything is new: the school, your schedule, the teachers, and your fellow students. How can a university
ensure a smooth transition for first-year students? For this, Inholland launched the Students for Students (S4S) project in the 2019-2020 academic year. In this project,
second-year students (studentcoaches) support first-year students with their studies. They do this based on their own experience and the training they receive during their year as studentcoaches. Research shows that peer-mentoring is very successful in aiding first-year students through their first year of the study program. Peer-mentoring has the potential to increase well-being, social bonding, the feeling of belonging, and student resilience. It also ensures smoother academic integration, as peer-mentoring focuses on developing academic skills as well.
Additionally, a studentcoach is often a low threshold point of contact for students where they can go with questions.
