Two programs get federal funding

The College of Education at SUNY Fredonia has been awarded two federal grants totaling $3 million over the next five years to continue its English Language Acquisition (ELA) program and to also establish the new Bringing Resources that Incorporate Development in General Education (BRIDGE) program. “It’s highly unusual to have two grants funded from the same source to one institution,” said Dr. Barbara Mallette, principal investigator for the Project BRIDGE grant and professor in the Language, Learning and Leadership department at SUNY Fredonia. Both are designed to help schools serve growing student populations whose native language is not English.
