Do Good with Bishop Scholars
2-2:45 p.m.
LOCATION: Merrick Hall 202
The Bishop Scholars Program provides an innovative approach to provide both an experiential teaching and learning experience, while also engaging in service learning, away from campus. Bishop Scholars provides intentional, high-dosage tutoring in Mathematics and Reading to Kindergarten through sixth grade youth who have fallen behind academically, in large part due to the Pandemic (or other factors). During the 2025 spring semester, 47 OWU students served as tutors, providing 2,016 educational tutoring sessions (1,149 hours) to 283 youth in three partnering schools. Since program inception, school data reported to OWU demonstrated an overall 92% improvement in Mathematics and 94% improvement in Reading from students' fall to spring test scores.
