The functional title is Success Coach. The University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas) is partnering with multiple organizations to enhance the college experience, completion rates, and post-graduation outcomes of students attending Dallas County Promise (DCP) public high schools who either enroll at Dallas College with the intention of transferring to UT Dallas or enroll in UT Dallas directly following high school graduation. This partnership is grant-funded and led by the Office of Undergraduate Education and the Office of Admission and Enrollment Services.

By fostering resilience and a growth mindset, the coach empowers students to navigate challenges, build confidence, and achieve meaningful milestones. Serving as a vital link between students and campus resources, the coach leverages campus partners to provide targeted academic, career, and personal development support. Through close collaboration with academic departments and support services across the university, they contribute to each student’s success and sense of belonging. Additionally, the position collects and maintains data on student progress and reports on trends to inform individual student support, programming, and broader student recruitment, persistence, and graduation efforts at UT Dallas.

The Office of Undergraduate Education’s mission is to promote student success for all undergraduates through enriching experiences that foster academic mastery, world readiness, and self-advocacy.
