School & Community Collaboration
Center
The School & Community Collaboration Center was created in 1994 to increase the College of Education's interaction with teachers and administrators, as well as school districts, social service agencies, businesses and communities. The center coordinates our efforts to study and resolve our nation’s social and educational issues, recognizing that involvement significantly improves the quality of our own preparation of teachers and educational leaders. We invite you to join with us in our partnership programs.
