NEST

Navigators Early Support Team (NEST)

What is NEST?

The Navigators Early Support Team (NEST) is able to connect students with the resources and supports they need to ensure success. If you are contacted by a NEST Team Captain, that means your instructor believes you will benefit from taking advantage of the many free services available here at Goodwin. Unlike larger college campuses where faculty often don't even know their students by name, Goodwin faculty know you and care about you, and they want to help you succeed in your academic pursuit.

Let your NEST Team Captain guide you to the resources that are right for you!
