| Abstract: |
The LaGuardia Community College Student Technology Mentor (STM) program demonstrates how a college's own students can become resources for the technology develop-ment of faculty, the improvement of teaching tools, and the expansion of library services. The program also illustrates how the Student Technology Mentors themselves benefit from campus employment, interaction with teaching faculty, and the community of peers that the service creates. These benefits are manifested in comparatively higher retention and graduation rates for those in the program as compared with other students of equal qualifications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
