Xavier University of Louisiana LCSAA Visit

It was a pleasure to have the Learning Community for STEM Academic Advancement meet at Xavier University of Louisiana. Xavier was scheduled for this visit in September 2005 but as a consequence of the storm and the necessary adjustments that followed over the next 2 years the meeting was postponed to June 2nd, 2008.

Several members of the group gave presentations which can be accessed by simply leaving a request in the comment section here or by contacting the Assistant Program Director, Ms. Sharon Winfield. Dr. Orlando Taylor, Vice-Provost for Research and Dean at the Graduate School of Howard University yielded the floor to Dr. Kenneth Boutte, Director of Academic Advancement and Dean of Freshman Studies at Xavier University, LCSAA Fellows from Howard University, Talladega College, Jackson State University and Xavier University and respective graduate students in order to present the status and summarize the results of the learning community programs and activities over the past year.

We all hope to continue our efforts as they have benefited the progress of many students who found leaning communities a viable alternative to improving their learning over traditional classroom protocol. Let's keep in touch and share successes and challenges with one another so not only do our students benefit but faculty will also reach their full potential as educators within this more global and cross-disciplinary academic landscape.
