Call for RASI Statement of Intent

Grant Initiative

The Title III goals to “Strengthen Student Retention” and “Revitalize Faculty Development” call for faculty-initiated and -developed projects that make substantial changes in pedagogy or delivery methods for the promotion of student retention and success. The Office of Title III Grant will provide financial and academic support for faculty to revitalize high-enrolled courses which traditionally have had low success rates. Course revitalization will take place Spring/Summer 2013 and piloted Fall 2013. Courses with lower enrollment will also be considered for funding. Participation is open to all full-time faculty.
