The good news is that GRIT can be grown. This is supported by research we conducted in Fall 2015.  Therefore, LSC-Tomball is committed to ensuring our students become gritty – in all the right ways.” ... “As a national leader, LSC-Tomball has a responsibility to share with other colleges how to infuse GRIT into their cultures and their courses,” Nutt said.
