INTRODUCTION
Since October 2006, the first (federally defined) year of a five-year grant, a team of faculty leaders, classified staff, and administrators has been diligently implementing the Title V Hispanic Serving Institutions grant focusing on increasing student success and retention in reading, writing, and use of integrated support services. A list of the grant personnel and steering committee members is included on page 7 of this newsletter. The Title V team enthusiastically shares encouraging progress in counseling initiatives, learning communities expansion, increased faculty development, tutoring expansion, and integration between instruction and support services and among support services. An underlying principle of this grant effort is integration of initiatives with programs, services, and classrooms so that students reach the services they need as early as possible. Another grant emphasis is expanded faculty development in learning communities, awareness of readability and reading strategies, and developmental education pedagogies. The grant has also provided technological tools to support these activities.
