The Office of Teaching and Learning is devoted to exposing SLPS students to college and university campuses. We took a group of seniors to the University of North Florida on October 7th, another group of seniors to Florida Gulf Coast University on October 13th, and our last group of seniors to Florida Atlantic University on October 29th. The students were able to listen to the Admissions Department from each university and discuss admission steps/requirements, as well as unique facts for each institution. The students were then led on a comprehensive tour of each university’s campus. To wrap things up, all students were able to eat lunch on campus to get the true college experience. Field trips to postsecondary institutions can impact enrollment, degree completion, and attitudes and behaviors toward college.
A special thank you to the St. Lucie Education Foundation for providing the students with the opportunity to eat in the dining hall on each university campus.
