TROY Service Centers meet the needs of working adults, including military, government agency civilians, teachers and future business leaders who want the opportunities that come with earning a degree. Because adult learners often have different educational needs than traditional students, courses are provided at times and in formats designed around people who work and have other commitments for their time.

Welcome to "Creating a Culture of Reading"
The Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), a requirement of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), is a vehicle by which institutions can increase their overall quality and effectiveness by focusing on one issue that can improve student learning. The QEP is anchored in the promotion of student learning and the enhancement of the climate for student learning. The components of Troy University's QEP, "Creating a Culture of Reading," include the Common Reading Initiative (CRI), the College Reading Initiative (COLRI), and the Faculty Development Initiative (FDI). A five-year plan, the QEP began the Fall Semester of 2009.
To the Last Breath is a work by Georgetown physics professor Francis Slakey detailing his adventures climbing the highest mountain on every continent and surfing in every ocean. This “surf and turf” adventure began as simply a way to pass time and amuse himself. Ensuing events, however, cause Slakey, who describes himself in the beginning as isolated and cold, to examine himself and his approach to life; he learns that the world is interconnected, that we are all involved with each other in one way or another, whether we know it or not. As a result of his about-face, he has established the Georgetown Program on Science in the Public Interest, a program that helps students identify problems in the world and then join with students in other disciplines to help solve those problems. At least for Slakey, we are indeed our brother’s keeper.

If you know how to read, you have a complete education about life, then you know how to vote within a democracy. But if you don’t know how to read, you don’t know how to decide. That’s the great thing about our country – we’re a democracy of readers, and we should keep it that way. — Ray Bradbury
