Faculty

• Collaborative Initiatives – On December 2003, four out of six projects evaluated received a HETS-LAAP grant for program development. These focus in the areas of Cross-Cultural Health Care, Security Management, Bilingual Journalism, and Online Learning Support for Non-Native English Speakers. The first three were certificate programs and/or minors, while the last one, Hispanic Online Learning Access (HOLA) Project, will be an online student support service.
