About Your Virtual Accountability Partner

The Student Productivity Project:
Virtual Accountability Partnership

A person on a mountain is extending their arm to help another climber climb up. Symbolizing the assistance of a virtual accountability partner for students.

We all know how easy it is to procrastinate without structure, encouragement, and someone to answer to. Even the most passionate graduate students struggle to get the productivity support they need to complete their degrees. That’s what the Student Productivity Project is for! Our goal is to give aspiring and current graduate students, like you, a virtual accountability partner to encourage your productivity and hold you accountable so that you can graduate sooner!

About Us

I’m Dr. Cristie Glasheen, an academic coach and founder of Graduate Student Success. I’ve been coaching graduate students for about a decade. Over the years, it’s become increasingly clear that many graduate students are not getting the support and accountability they need to finish their degrees in good time. And, while I work with students struggling with specific issues (e.g., abusive advisors, ADHD, research setbacks, test anxiety, etc.), I’ve met even more students who just aren’t getting the productivity structure they need to succeed.

That’s why I wanted to start the Student Productivity Project, to help even more students excel in their degrees. The problem was, I was fully booked. So, two years after envisioning the project, I have finally found an online accountability partner that I know can help students in the way they deserve.
