Academic Impressions Magazine Covers FSC’s $2.9 Million FITW Grant

October 15, 2015

More than 55,000 higher-ed professionals will read an interview with Dr. Beverly Kahn this month, about FSC’s new $2.9 million First in the World ( FITW) grant. The article, which appears in Academic Impressions magazine, covers the 2015 grant that was the only one of its kind awarded to a college or university in New York State by the US DOE.

The grant’s theme – Creating Research Opportunities for Students – has the goal of improving four-year graduation rates by 20% over Farmingdale’s baseline for first-year and transfer students. The program will support on-campus research and place faculty and students in mentored research experiences off campus in national laboratories, research universities, business accelerators, and other research venues.
