Coaching & Development

Whether you’re adjusting to college life, exploring career paths, or managing stress, C&D offers a supportive space for you to reflect, grow, and stay on track. Here’s a glimpse of what we cover...

• Time Management & Organization: Get practical tips to create study routines that work for you and learn how to prioritize effectively.
• Goal Setting & Accountability: We’ll help you set realistic goals and stick to them — no more last-minute scrambling.
• Motivation & Focus: Reconnect with your “why” and find the drive to push through challenges with purpose.

• Know Yourself Better: Through reflection and honest feedback you’ll get to know your values, strengths, and what areas you want to grow in.
• Build Confidence and Bounce Back: College isn’t always easy. Coaching helps you develop a growth mindset so you can handle challenges and come back stronger.
• Handle Stress Like a Pro: Learn practical tools to manage stress, ease anxiety, and stay emotionally balanced — especially during high-pressure times like finals.

• Adjusting to College Life: Whether you’re a first-year or transfer student, we’ll help you navigate the social, academic, and emotional shifts of college life.
• Life Skills for Adulthood: From learning to set boundaries without guilt, to advocating for yourself with professors, we’ll help you feel more in control of “adulting.”
• Navigating Independence: Coaching gives you the space to reflect on personal habits, decision-making, and how to take ownership of your time and responsibilities.

• Roommate / Suite-mate Tensions: We help you explore what’s really going on and how to approach conflict calmly and assertively — before it turns into a blow-up.
• Group Living Skills: Whether it’s about dishes, noise, or visitors — gain tools to handle common roommate issues with maturity and respect.

• Interpersonal Skills: Conflict is a natural part of working with others. Through C&D sessions and workshops, you’ll learn how to communicate more effectively — using active listening, assertiveness, and strategies to navigate difficult conversations with clarity and respect.
• Teamwork & Empathy: At Tandon, group projects and experiential learning are the norm. We’ll help you strengthen your collaboration and leadership skills so you can thrive in team settings — whether in class, student organizations, or your future career.

I’m a transfer student at NYU, and I came in with a lot of goals and personal challenges. I always tried to handle everything all by myself, but the Coaching & Development program has shown me that through it all, I’m not alone. They’ve helped me through my academic and athletic lifestyle, and supported me with anything else I needed. Throughout the enriching conversations I’d have with the program, it’s been proven continuously that the negatives of my environment have no influence on who I can become. I’ve strengthened myself to push forward and keep my flame burning bright.”

Thanks to Coaching & Development, I've always had someone to turn to, whether I'm dealing with academic stress or something personal, they always have my back. It's like having your own personal trainer, always cheering you on, rooting for your success. I’d go to debrief with ShawnTina, especially during mid-term week. It became our little tradition and really helped me stay grounded. OASIS has truly played a huge role in my academic and personal growth. As a first-generation college student, I honestly don’t think I’d be where I am today, or have the opportunities I’ve had, without the support and guidance of the entire OASIS staff."
