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 and skills fundamental to college success and beyond. Its goals are to promote an environment that maximizes student 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. The PLC offers workshops, small group instruction, mentoring, peer tutoring, and group study services in all academic fields. Students who want academic reinforcement in a particular course may request a tutor or academic coach.

Tutoring, Academic Coaching, Resume Writing, and Interview Prep

Free academic support is available for Trocaire courses upon request to enrolled Trocaire students. Support is also available to recent alumni preparing for licensure exams and prospective students preparing for the nursing entrance exam. Through one-on-one and group interactions, students have access to professional, alumni, and peer tutors. Professional tutors are credentialed in the academic subject(s) or skill(s) they tutor. Alumni and Peer tutors are former or current Trocaire students who have been confirmed as meeting specific academic standards to tutor in a particular subject or academic program area.

Academic Coaching is available to students seeking assistance with time management, note-taking and test-taking strategies. Job seeking skills such as resume writing writing and interview prep are also available. Coaching sessions emphasize critical problem solving and the students’ self-assessment of academic, social, and personal issues that impede their academic progress. Coaching Sessions are scheduled with Paul Kochmanski, Academic Coach
