The partnership between the Department of Communication Studies at CSUN and
Grant High School has three interrelated goals:
 | The central aim of the partnership is to develop a model that can be used
in other locations in the U.S. for creating hate-free school environments
where the benefits of a culturally diverse community are supported. In the
process of developing this model, the partnership serves a second purpose,
which is to provide a site for CSUN undergraduate and graduate students, and
faculty to engage in community-service-learning projects.
|
| The service-learning projects will offer CSUN students the opportunities
to actively apply their learning in socially responsible ways. The partnership
also enables CSUN students to serve as role models for Grant High School
students who may otherwise have little opportunity to interact with mentors
who are committed to a university education.
|
| The third goal of the pilot partnership is to strengthen relations among
educational institutions, pre-K through higher education, and to join forces
with the larger metropolitan community of the San Fernando Valley to address
critical social issues that challenge our diverse society. |
