About First Year Academic Coaches: Who they are & what they do!

FYACs are peer mentors!

They have been selected based on their academic strength,      records of campus leadership, and friendliness! They can help you put into action what you are learning about collegiate level academics, life management strategies, and success at Ithaca. FYACs help you ADJUST and SUCCEED!
