Lake Superior State University (LSSU) has been selected as one of 14 Michigan institutions to participate in the inaugural Gateway Course Redesign Faculty Academy, an 18-month initiative by the Michigan College Access Network (MCAN) in collaboration with Almy Education and Sova.<\/p>\n
The academy aims to support colleges and universities in rethinking and restructuring key gateway courses, such as introductory Math, English, and Science classes, to remove barriers, increase student achievement, and improve outcomes. Participating schools receive $10,000 in implementation funding to support course redesign efforts.<\/p>\n
LSSU\u2019s participation reflects its commitment to advancing student success, particularly for first-generation students.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were drawn to the Gateway Course Redesign Academy because it\u2019s not just about redesigning a math course, but it\u2019s about bringing a whole cross-campus team together to rethink<\/em> The Gateway Course Redesign Faculty Academy is based on national research and best practices, designed for faculty, by faculty. Through technical assistance, tailored support, and cross-institutional collaboration, the academy equips educators to redesign courses with equity and effectiveness in mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lake Superior State University (LSSU) has been selected as one of 14 Michigan institutions to participate in the inaugural Gateway Course Redesign Faculty Academy, an 18-month initiative by the Michigan …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":3392,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1,10],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakerlog.lssu.edu\/fall2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2012"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakerlog.lssu.edu\/fall2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakerlog.lssu.edu\/fall2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakerlog.lssu.edu\/fall2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakerlog.lssu.edu\/fall2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2012"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lakerlog.lssu.edu\/fall2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2012\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakerlog.lssu.edu\/fall2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakerlog.lssu.edu\/fall2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakerlog.lssu.edu\/fall2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakerlog.lssu.edu\/fall2025\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nplacement, courses, and processes in a way that centers students,<\/em>\u201d said Jennifer Gorman, assistant professor of mathematics at LSSU. \u201cWith so many of our students being first-<\/em>
\ngeneration, this work matters a lot to us. The Academy\u2019s support will help us build on the discussions we\u2019ve already been having and move forward with this important work.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n
