In support of the Mission of Trocaire College, the role of the Palisano Learning Center is to provide students with the tools for strategic learning. The Palisano Learning Center (PLC) is located in the library and offers students a variety of academic support services and learning tools. There are anatomical models available for student use, along with academic program-related materials and study guides.
Tutoring, Academic Coaching, Resume Writing, and Interview Prep
Free academic support is available for enrolled Trocaire students. Support is also available to recent alumni preparing for licensure exams and prospective students preparing for the nursing entrance exam.
Academic Coaching is available to students seeking assistance with time management, note-taking, and test-taking strategies. Job-seeking skills such as resume writing and interview prep are also available.
