SUMMARY:WPN Webinar: College Completion Coaching – Promising Practices
DESCRIPTION:College Success Foundation (CSF) College Services provides one-on-one and small-group coaching to  2-  and  4-year college students throughout Washington  State. CSF coaches are training on the Fostering Success Coaching Model developed within the Seita Scholars Program\, a campus support program for students from foster care at Western Michigan University.
