"Gateway to Success" Program Launched
 The college has recently announced the launch of its new program "Gateway to Success," which is designed to help struggling freshman remain on course to finishing their degrees. The program was made possible thanks to a grant awarded by the Maryland Higher Education Commission's Maryland College Access Challenge Grant Program.
This spring semester, potential candidates for the Gateway to Success program will be identified by Capitol College staff members and faculty. These students will be enrolled in a math course and an English course during the summer session and will receive strong academic support throughout the summer term. The academic progress of each student will be closely monitored by faculty, and a college advisor will meet with each participant weekly. Peer tutors will also be available to students, and they will lead mandatory review sessions and work individually with each student throughout the summer.
Read more about this new program and Capitol College's other efforts to ensure the success of all its students.

 Meet Dr. Sandy AntunesHaving worked on six different NASA satellite missions during his career, Dr. Sandy Antunes, assistant professor, brings his detailed experience in astronautical engineering to each class he teaches. "I like that teaching isn't static or repetitive," Antunes said. "Every year is new. And, teaching is evolving - we're no longer lecturer/content creators as we are remixers and DJs tweaking the mix of overwhelming information so our students get maximum yield from it." Read the full interview with Dr. Sandy Antunes. |
