Success Consultants
All incoming first-year Carolina Rugby players are assigned to a Success Consultant in the SSC. The role of the Success Consultant is to assist students in the transition to a four-year university and serve as a resource to students by answering questions. Each Success Consultant is a trained resource for new students and serves as an ambassador for college level academic expectations: bringing their knowledge of campus resources and procedures to students who may be unsure of their new academic surroundings. Players should consult with their Success Consultant a minimum of 3 times a semester.
