Medaille receives 400K from the John R. Oishei Foundation to
support expansion of Project EQUIP
Medaille College has announced that The John R. Oishei Foundation will provide $400,000 in grant funding over three years to support Project EQUIP, a comprehensive program focused on community-based learning for undergraduate students at Medaille's Buffalo Campus.
In the 2006–07 academic year, Medaille implemented a pilot learning community program for provisionally admitted students, who make up 35% of incoming classes on average. Within just two years of implementation, the freshman-to-sophomore retention rate of this group increased from 56% to 69%, with measured levels of academic engagement rising to surpass selected peer institutions, based on the National Survey of Student Engagement. Full story available online at the Medaille news website.
Graduate programs run year-round at the Medaille's Amherst Campus, including education, mental health counseling, and psychology degrees, along with the Accelerated Learning Program.
With a location in the town of Brighton, Medaille dedicated its campus in Rochester in the summer of 2009, offering associate, bachelor's and master's degrees in business.
