Experience the power of the Tuck community embodied in a personal board that generously provides counsel, shares wisdom and expertise, supports decision-making, and offers accountability on the path to larger goals.
Connections are critical to the Tuck student experience. Through the Personal Board of Advisers program, students have the opportunity to formalize those connections by curating a personal board, with advisers handpicked to support their individual values, goals, and needs. Tuck Compass provides structure and frameworks for students and their boards to engage and co-invest in a meaningful experience for all involved. Participating students also have the option to be matched with a personal leadership coach through Tuck’s Personal Leadership Coaching program and receive extended coaching beyond the standard offerings to all students.
