Hodges University accepted a $10,000 grant from Bank of America. The grant will benefit Hodges University’s English as a Second Language (ESL) program.
“As the first Hispanic Serving Institution in the region, we have built a successful ESL program that helps our students learn to speak, write and read in English with confidence,” said Dr. John Meyer, president of Hodges University. “We are grateful for Bank of America’s continuing support.”
“For the second, consecutive year, Bank of America plays a vital role in our efforts to expand ESL certificate program offerings at the Goodwill Community Resource Center in Lehigh Acres,” added Dr. Chris Parfitt, Senior Director of Grants and Alumni Relations at Hodges University. “This provides a means of economic mobility for our ESL students, their careers and their families.”
