Three More Colleges Participate in Readership Program

St. Louis Community College-Florissant Valley Campus in Missouri, Central Lakes College in Minnesota and Columbia State Community College in Tennessee are the newest institutions to enroll in the Community College Readership Program, which promotes civic engagement and an informed citizenry by making newspapers available to students. Participating colleges use the newspapers as classroom tools and to promote group discussions. Resources to aid chapters in funding and promoting the Community College Readership Program are available online. Participation in the program benefits the Leaders of Promise Scholarship Fund, fulfills some Five Star Chapter Development Program requirements and can be included in Scholarship and Leadership Hallmark Award entries.
