A brief description of the institution’s programs to prepare students from low-income backgrounds for higher education:
UCSD CREATE was established in 2000 as UCSD’s entity to support local K-12 outreach and college preparation efforts, specifically for students too often underrepresented in college. Our charge was to marshal campus resources towards support of K-12 education in the San Diego region, and increasingly, we consult with colleagues on improving underrepresented students’ experience in the 12-20 pipeline as well. Our work now addresses the preK-20/career pipeline in our region and university. See http://create.ucsd.edu/index.html for additional detail.
