Chadron State College in Chadron, Nebraska, recently received a technology grant that will benefit its Kaleidoscope project, reported the Chadron Record.
The Kaleidoscope program pairs CSC with seven other universities across the country to aid at-risk students through technology education, according to the news source. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, a longtime benefactor of college-level learning initiatives, recently donated $750,000 to the program.
The educational outreach effort will feature programs designed to bring students struggling in reading, writing and composition up to speed, stated the media organization. In all, a curriculum featuring nine classes will be piloted by Kaleidoscope.
Academic counselors with students struggling to master these core concepts may want to consider technology-based directives, which may include a remedial reading software program, a personal computer of a
DLP projector.
The Chadron Record claims that the main beneficiaries of the outreach will be struggling students, who often come from poor households.
"Our core mission at CSC is to support the academic achievement of our students, many of whom are low-income or first-generation college students,” said Lois Veath, CSC vice president for academic affairs.
