Closing the loop
THE
What picture pops in your head when you hear the phrase “closing the loop?”
The phrase is often used to describe actions such as following up, checking in or
closing the deal.
SFCC is taking a new approach to helping students close the loop on their
educational goals with the implementation of the Student Success Navigators
program on Oct. 1.
Dr. Joanna Anderson, SFCC president, says the new program is designed to provide
each student with a navigator who will be a student’s “personal guide to success.”
“Navigators will advise students, help them stay on course and assist them with
issues that present detours along the way,” says Anderson. “Our goal is to provide
educational and personal support for all SFCC students that will result in more
students reaching their goals. I’m proud to say our Board of Trustees supports this
initiative.”

Leadership potential
Students interested in developing and improving leadership skills are invited to
join Phi Beta Lambda, the college division of Future Business Leaders of America.
Members need only to be enrolled in at least one business class, and it can be PBL
(OADM123). The group will meet 2:30 p.m., Sept. 19 in Fielding 217.
SFCC is the only college in Missouri that offers leadership credit for PBL members!
PBL helps students focus on their own leadership styles, practice community
service and participate in state and national competitions.
