The Academic Foundations Program is a cluster of courses designed to strengthen the academic skills of entering college students who are identified as having the potential for academic success but who are under prepared for college-level work. Classes in reading, writing, mathematics, and adjustment to college are available through this program. For more information contact Linda Spoelman at lspoelma@grcc.edu or 234-4385.
GRCC’s English as a Second Language Program offers courses in speaking, reading, and writing English to students whose first language is not English. Courses in the program help students build their skills with the English language so that they can reach their personal, professional, and academic goals. For more information see the ESL webpage, or contact Linda Spoelman at lspoelma@grcc.edu or 234-4385.
The Lake Michigan Writing Project, housed at Grand Valley State University, gathers teachers from the local community to share best writing practices and their own writing.

GRCC English Department faculty are regular contributors to the Project, which is West Michigan's official site of the National Writing Project. For more information contact Susan Mowers at smowers@grcc.edu or 234-4601.
