SOAR Student Book Clubs

In January 2013, LSCPA implemented the College’s Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) . The QEP is entitled Seahawks SOAR (Students Obtaining Achievement in Reading).

One aspect of the Seahawks SOAR project is hosting Student Book Clubs for the duration of the five-year study. Led by a faculty or staff member, the Student Book Clubs will meet three times a semester. At each meeting, the leader will guide the students in a discussion of one popular work of fiction or nonfiction, selected by a sub-committee of the Seahawks SOAR Advisory Committee. This process of reading the text and bringing the author or relevant speaker to address the student body is the model for subsequent semesters. Sign up for participation in a book club occurs during Welcome Week each semester. The College offers incentives for the students to participate in the student book club activities, including drawings for giveaways, T-shirts, wristbands, and gift cards. For more information contact the Director of Student Activities on the second floor of the Student Center.
