The Seminole State College Native American Serving Non-Tribal Institutions Project (NASNTI) is committed to empowering students' academic success through post secondary options leading to baccalaureate transfer and socioeconomic stability.  In order to achieve this Seminole State College must engage students with success. The NASNTI project has three components: Revision of high-risk courses, Comprehensive professional development, and engagement services for students. Each component compliments and links to the other components, creating an array of strategies and services that work together to enhance and increase the potential for student success and retention.  To achieve this, the project also includes: tutoring, peer mentors, professional development, early alert, and the infusion of technology into education labs.  For more information Carol Parker- Director c.parker@sscok.edu  or 405.382.9640
