"Most natural science classes at LSSU offer students as much hands-on experience (lab hours) as lecture hours, which ensures that the university experience prepares us for the real world careers, whether you work at a desk or out in the field, or both. There are endless advantages and opportunities available to LSSU students due to its location on an international border.

I found my career path on campus when my advisor posted a job for the Bi-national Public Advisory Council (BPAC), a group dedicated to and overseeing the clean-up the St. Mary's River. I was able to gain experience and network on both sides of the border, ultimately finding full-time employment before I graduated with my biology degree."

Title III

Title III Grant Overview

The Title III Grant at LSSU is administered by the Project Director: Carolyn Rajewski, 906-635-2294

In 2001, Lake Superior State University was selected as the recipient of a five-year Title III Strengthening Institutions Grant through the U.S. Department of Education. The goal of the project is to improve academic programs and student success by using technology to enhance advising, distributed learning, and direct instruction.

Activity: Improving Academic Programs and Student Success

Lake Superior State University's Title III activity is designed to provide opportunities for our students and to serve as a catalyst for systemic improvement. Bridging the academic gaps that stand between our students and their successful pursuit of a higher education is the primary focus of this activity. The three main components of the activity are:

Implementation of computer-based and self-paced instruction designed to personalize the education of our most at-risk students;
Implementation of an Online Learning Assistance program to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in more rigorous courses; and
Implementation of a technology-enhanced academic advising system

Four primary strategies developed to meet this goal
