This activity provided professional development opportunities for faculty and professional staff through a Research Awards Program and an Expert Speakers Series.
The goal of this program was to promote the design, development and
publication of scholarly research at Landmark
College. Funds from this portion of the
grant provide release time for faculty
and staff members, and the technical support
necessary to complete their projects. These
important projects add to the body of knowledge
in the field of educating individuals with
learning disabilities and AD/HD.
