My Project

Our scholars are absolutely brilliant! As a service to their community, they have put together a project focused on making learning more equitable.

In this portion of a larger project, they surveyed left-handed learners and educators regarding what they need in an instructional setting.

I'm so impressed with their thoughtfulness as they work to make lab classes more accessible. These items will be distributed to left-handed learners for use in classes. An additional project is underway to acquire learning tools such as tape measurers, scissors, and kitchen tools for our culinary arts courses.
