This summer, the IUP University College’s Title III Grant Program funded and facilitated two courses by the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE): “Fostering a Culture of Belonging” and “Designing Student-Centered and Equitable Courses.”

With 15 new course completers, IUP now boasts a total of 103 individuals who have earned the course badge for “Fostering and Culture of Belonging.” This summer was also the first time that ACUE’s “Designing Student-Centered and Equitable Courses” was offered, with 22 members of the IUP community completing the course.

IUP has been offering ACUE professional training to employees since the beginning of 2024. The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) offers ACUE courses to IUP faculty members in parallel to IUP’s Title III Program as well.
