C-START Program Finds New Funding
By Meredith Nicholson & Jeff Silver | August 26From sports heroes to quantum mechanics, five courses will be offered this spring as part of a program that lets undergraduate seniors design and teach their own classes. The program, Carolina Students Taking Academic Responsibility through Teaching, known as C-START, was started by former student Kristin Miller using a one-time grant from former Provost Dick Richardson. But because the funding from the Office of the Provost was only temporary, coordinators were forced to find money quickly to keep the program going.
