Grant
College Reading and Learning Association Enables Center to Certify Tutors New Rochelle, NY, August 28, 2002 - Iona College has received $65,000 from the May and Samuel Rudin Family Foundation, Inc. in support of the College's Academic Resource Center (ARC) for the 2002 - 2003 academic year. The College Reading and Learning Association, a professional organization advancing standards in higher education, has also awarded the ARC regular/level one certification based on the level of service the Center provides, its adherence to academic and ethical standards, and its training of tutors. This award enables the Iona ARC to certify tutors. The ARC grant will provide numerous free services, including study skills workshops for first-year students, to all Iona students with documented disabilities throughout the year. More than 1,000 students visited the Center during the Fall 2001 semester where many received training sessions on new software after the Center completed an extensive upgrade of the computer infrastructure. The ARC also identifies, tests and acquires software and related hardware to provide hearing-impaired and other disabled students with academic independence. Founded in 1940 by the Congregation of Christian Brothers, Iona College is a private, coeducational institution of learning in the tradition of American Catholic higher education. Iona offers undergraduate degrees in liberal arts, science, and business administration, as well as Master of Arts, Master of Science and Master of Business Administration degrees and numerous post-graduate certificate programs.
