Congratulations to our most recent Lockwood Foundation Grant recipients! These grants, provided by funds which are so generously donated by the Lockwood Foundation, are one of the Foundation’s signature programs. Awarding these funds is one of the highlights of our year.

Executive functioning skills such as planning, organization, goal persistence, and self-reflection, are foundational to college success. Emerging research indicates that pandemic-era disruptions have created new barriers to the development of these skills. This project will create an evidence-based neurodevelopmental course framework for First-Year Seminar (FYS 101), a 3-credit “introduction to college course,” aligning course activities with key early-momentum success factors.
