WASHINGTON – The US Department of Education awarded a $433,000 grant to SUNY Ulster to improve the college’s capacity to better serve low-income students by increasing access to student services, enhancing their ability to identify at-risk students, and bolstering advising programs.
“This project will systematically change the way SUNY Ulster interacts with our most vulnerable students to strengthen student engagement and increase success, as measured by an increase in course completion and retention rates,” said college President Dr. Alan Roberts.
He said the funds will be used to implement strategies to increase access to student services and build information management support systems and processes while offering mini-grants to faculty and staff for development opportunities.
The grant was announced by Congressman John Faso.
