Thompson | T000193 | benniethompson.house.gov | benniethompson | https://benniethompson.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Bolton , MS – Congressman Bennie Thompson is proud to announce that Millsaps College has been awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) with a total amount of $388,623.00. This significant grant is for a project entitled "Active Learning Sociocultural Progression through Adapted Classroom Environments," under the direction of Elizabeth Hussa. This project aims to serve the national interest by establishing evidence-based classroom practices designed to help students embrace their own agency as learners. By tracking changes in both faculty and student mindsets after experiencing STEM courses taught in traditional classrooms and in spaces designed to facilitate active learning, the project seeks to contribute to a broader understanding of promoting active, evidence-based teaching practices in higher education. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:36:13Z |
