BENNETT COLLEGE
$715,000 BY FED.
a Bennett College has been ]
n" awarded $715,000 under Title III
ss' ot the Higher Education Act of ;
n" 1965 to be used in seven dis- .
tinct, cooperative programs in |
er which Bennett is involved with l
iol several other institutions in (
ir" consortia arrangements. s
Dr. Isaac H. Miller, Jr., Ben- I
nett president, said the seven '
individual grants totaling $715,- i
000 will serve to strengthen the i
~ academic programs of the sev- c
eral colleges and allow them to
engage in experimentation and ; *
do research in method and tech-'s
?* nique. t
ite. <-Titlc III funds go to help *
'developing' institutions become 15
lis ... '
better 'educational' institutions," c
| he explained. "Without this
J kind of support, we would be ;
I unable to undertake such vital j
im
programs. s
One of the seven consortia, i
the Greensboro Tri-College Con- ;
sortium, will receive $190,000 ]
under the Title III grant, Dr. ]
Miller said. Greensboro and [
:'H Guilford Colleges are consort:
j ium members, along with Ben||
j nett.
| The Tri-College grant will be
| used to extend the capacities of
jfl each member through a process
j of "sharing" ? the joint use of
j j facilities, resources and person!
nel. There will be some rein|
forcement of administration
;f and development of curricula
and faculty, he said.
A consortium of twelve co
operating institutions will re
; ceive a $50,000 erant for a nro
I! gram in which Bennett College ^
I is to take the lead in planning
' for education in allied health
professions.
"Speaking generally, we're
talking about basic training for
c
persons who will become medical
assistants, medical technolh
ogists, anaesthesiologists ? the
n- whole gamut of allied health
is sciences," Dr. Miller said. s
of "The 12 small institutions in- 1
ur volved will be working together f
er to develop programs which sup- '
rs port further training in these c
10, professions," he explained. "We f
will reshape curricula and, when 1
p- needed, bring in new faculty." i
th The Six Institutions Consor- s
)u tium, now entering its fourth '
t- vear of activity, will receive
be $250,000. This consortium's main C
b- thrust is the incorporation Into c

performing arts.
"In each of the past three
rears, two persons from each
>chool have been released from
;eaching responsibilities to colect
pertinent slides and tapes,
levelop course outlines and
iyllabi, and revise curricula," he
jointed out. "Our next emphasis
will be on implementat'on,
ictually getting course studies
n use. Already, they are in great
iemand among other colleges.
A $50,000 grants, listed with
he Greensboro Tri-College Consortium
but not limited to it,
vill involve all institutions in
he region in furthering discussions
on inter-institutional coiperation.
"We are moving to involve
ill schools of the Piedmont regon
in cooperative use of resources
and plans will evolve
as we share ideas," Dr. Miller
said. "We want to get more
trigh school graduates into colleges,
and we want to encourage
more students to engage in
meaningful independent study,
and share knowledge of how to
improve the college student's
ihances of success and give
;hem reinforcing experiences."
A $125,000 grant is going to
:he Thirteen-College Curricuum
Program, in which Bennett
las been active for five years.
The consortium involves 13 prelominantly
black institutions
ind is devoted principally to
jurriculum reform in the gen;ral
studies area.
"It has as one of its features
he provision of more individlalized
instruction, more couneling,
more cultural enrichnents,
and many broadening
experiences which the college
eould not heretofore give their
itudents because of prohibitive
:osts," he said.
"The overall emphasis is on
o modifying the general studies
>rogram that students have
[reater readiness for advanced
vork. The approach has been
iffective in helping students to
ree themselves of natural inlibitions
in the classroom, and
n encouraging them to be more
elf-assertive," according to Dr.
diller.
Research in the Thirteenlollege
Curriculum Program has
xeated new ways to improve
he whole climate in which the
