"From the second he described it, my jaw was on the floor."
"I was like, 'Yep-that's exactly what I need.'"
"I thought I couldn't be a perfectionist because I wasn't performing highly enough."
"It wasn't until PATH when I was able to get the vocabulary to identify how stress showed up in my life."
PATH (Personal Advancement Through Habits) is an eight-week, peer mentor-led program that combines online coursework and small-group discussions to guide student reflection and personal development. Launched in 2016, the program focuses on managing stress, perfectionism, and personal growth. During 2024–25, 88 students completed PATH; about 90 percent reported a positive personal change, more than 60 percent reported growth in self-awareness, and roughly half reported improved motivation and goal-setting skills. The program originated nearly ten years ago from efforts to support students facing intense short-term challenges and to provide language and tools to recognize how stress manifests in academic life.
