Halda at UMF: Guiding Students Toward Success

Helping students navigate college with personalized support, tools, and mentorship.

Halda at the University of Maine at Farmington is a student support program designed to help learners stay on track and achieve their academic goals. Through a mix of one-on-one coaching, progress tracking, and timely check-ins, Halda provides students with the structure and guidance they need to succeed both in and out of the classroom.

What makes Halda unique is its proactive approach. Instead of waiting until challenges become overwhelming, the program helps students identify potential roadblocks early and develop strategies to overcome them. By combining mentorship, accountability, and encouragement, Halda empowers students to take charge of their learning while building skills that last well beyond college.
