Posted By: How May I Help You NC on May 02, 2017 Author: Emmanuel Freeman Tennessee State University has received a $35,000 grant to help incoming freshmen who may need to do a little brushing up on math, reading and writing. The one-week residential Summer Completion Academy is made possible through the Tennessee Board of Regents’ Student Engagement, Retention, and Success Grant. About 160 students in the academy will have the opportunity to satisfy learning support requirements prior to their first semester of enrollment. The program will run over two sessions between June 25-30, and July 16-21, 2017. Students participating in the program have already been accepted to TSU. “Our focus for the grant is to work with students who are at risk,” said Tiffany Bellafant Steward, interim director of Academic Success Services and Learning Support Centers. “These are students who are not prepared for college-level work who would go into our learning support areas of math, reading and writing.” She said participants will receive learning support such as additional lab sessions, extra days in class, as well as “engagement activities,” including pre- and post-tests to measure their achievement level. “We are thrilled to be in a position to offer a program like this to students, which could take up to three classes off their fall schedule,” Steward said. Sabrina Brown, associate director of Academic Success, is the Project Director for the Summer Completion Academy. She can be reached at 615-963-2144.
