Faculty Senate president Debra Moore announced at the Board of Trustees meeting Wednesday at 6 p.m. in the Cheryl A. Epple Board room that the iFALCON campaign was approved to receive a Title V Grant.
The grant, which was something the ASCC was struggling to obtain last spring, has been granted for a period of five years in which the school will receive a total of $514,163 for the first year.
The iFALCON campaign has been implemented is most classrooms for the past year in order to teach and enhance student studying skills and learning capabilities.
Two of its founders were last year’s ASCC president Michael Barrita and the new dean of Humanities and Social Science Bryan Reece.
Moore thinks the funds this grant will provide will come to a great benefit not only to the staff that is participating in this campaign, but mainly to the students.
“This is a great campaign and the fact that we got this grant is even greater,” she said, “it will help provide the tools and supplies the school needs to make this campaign go even further.”
