Grace College’s new Center for Literacy and Learning (CLL) held a ribbon-cutting ceremony at its new tutoring center on the third floor of Mount Memorial Hall on September 9.  

The CLL, funded by Lilly Endowment Inc. through its initiative, Advancing the Science of Reading in Indiana, is dedicated to enhancing teacher candidate knowledge and application of Science of Reading evidence-based practices while collaborating with local school districts to build capacity for dynamic clinical placements. 

“The Center for Literacy and Learning is our collective response to the need for literacy,” said Rachael Hoffert, Ed.D., director of the center and chair of the Department of Elementary Education at Grace.
