What is KPAC?
The Kinesiology Peer Academic Coaching (KPAC) Program is a peer leadership program that supports and enhances the undergraduate student learning experience. The program is run by a team of dedicated volunteer student leaders who help their Kinesiology peers navigate their academic journey.
Kinesiology Peer Academic Coaches are friendly, inclusive, and knowledgeable upper-year Kinesiology students who know what it’s like to study and learn in Kinesiology. Through one-on-one coaching conversations and the delivery of targeted study sessions, they aim to provide fellow Kinesiology students with strategies and resources to improve their academic experience.
Peer coaches can confidently and knowledgeably assist peers in the following areas:
- Study strategies
- Prioritization and time
- How to approach an academic task
- Ways to get involved on campus
KIN-nect Program
The KIN-nect Program is a program that runs within KPAC where you will be paired with a Kinesiology Peer Academic Coach who will meet with you on an ongoing basis. Participants are asked to meet with their coach three times throughout the term and will receive a Certificate of Completion at the end of the program.
Each meeting will have a particular focus, but the content of the conversation will ultimately be driven by you, the coachee:
- Meeting 1: Getting to know your coach
- Meeting 2: Setting SMART goals
- Meeting 3: Wrap-up and looking ahead
Registration for 26W Term 1 is now closed. Check back in January 2027 for our second intake round.
