STOA Bibliography

In an effort to improve the academic environment for its students, the college is developing a quality enhancement plan focused on improving student learning. The acronym for this plan is STOA: Success through Tutoring, Orientation, and Advising. This three fold plan is designed to help students understand and value a liberal arts education, motivate them to set high standards and work persistently toward them, and enable them to succeed academically by providing them with the resources to do so. Below are some resources with more information, available in the Florida College library.
