New Director Appointed to Lead CARE Program
Posted on February 6th, 2012 by Division of Student Affairs

Florida State University has appointed Tadarrayl M. Starke as the new director of the Center for Academic Retention and Enhancement (CARE). The university’s divisions of Student Affairs and Academic Affairs jointly operate the center, which helps first-generation and economically disadvantaged students make the adjustment to college life.

Each year, CARE’s Summer Bridge Program admits roughly 350 students who are beginning their academic careers at the university. At any given time, there are 1,000 to 1,200 Florida State students affiliated with CARE. The program serves both minority and non-minority students

Starke succeeds CARE’s founding director, Angela Richardson, who retired at the conclusion of the fall 2011 semester.
