Vassar science scholars program

Vassar - NY, New York

Vassar has admitted three Poughkeepsie High School seniors as freshmen as a reult of a Vassar science scholars program in which selected city students take Saturday classes with college professors and use the school’s equipment to study artificial intelligence and other science topics. One admitted students said “”[Vassar] is two blocks from my house, but it’ll be a whole new world.”"

Much of my work in service-learning and community engagement has come as a result of the many excellent resources and materials generated by Campus Compact. When I first became the Founding Director of CSUSB's CUP [Community-University Partnership Institute], I relied almost exclusively on the resources of Campus Compact in designing, planning, and implementing our actions."
