K-12 Education

通过学习加强社区

Our students and faculty collaborate with local schools and communities to support children in the foster care system, 研究家庭在低收入家庭学生教育中的作用, 加强儿童福利和早期教育服务之间的伙伴关系.

This commitment to accessibility continues through campus initiatives and community programs that empower high school and college students.
