"I have been the chair of English and Developmental English now for about 11 years. There's not much that you can tell me about student success that would surprise me. That's something I studied throughout my doctoral work—how can we support students from the ground up in order to make them more successful?"

Institutional leaders at Rowan-Cabarrus must navigate continuous educational redesigns, ensure measurable student success, and maintain high standards of academic integrity. Grammarly emerged as a strategic partner to address these institutional challenges.
