Technology can certainly assist, once you’ve laid a solid foundation.” </p> <p> <<< Read the full story at the Lake Union Herald <a href="https://www.lakeunionherald.org/archive/articles/math-teachers-explore-artificial-intelligence-at-lake-union-professional-training">site</a> >></p> Thu, 06 Nov 2025 15:00:03 +0000 Andrews Receives Grant for Grad Psychology Program http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/68537 <div> A $350,000 grant has been awarded to Andrews University’s School of Graduate Psychology & Counseling by Michigan’s Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO).
