Lone Star College-Tomball has become a leader in the practice of incorporating good GRIT into the classroom. The Global GRIT Initiative is a project in which LSC-Tomball will partner with other advocates for the importance of GRIT to the average college student to continue developing ways to encourage good GRIT and share what we've learned.
