UC San Diego Program Partnerships

CREATE partners with faculty, staff and students from numerous UC San Diego programs in work to increase K-20 opportunities to learn. 

We work with campus colleagues and graduate/undergraduate students to leverage their work and energy to engage local K-12 students in opportunities to learn. Some outreach programs also support local community college students, or local teachers. 

Student Outreach Programs

CREATE supports courses, programs, and informal student-led outreach efforts across campus that get UC San Diego students into the San Diego education community and informal outreach efforts designed by UC San Diego students. CREATE helps UC San Diego students to leverage their knowledge and energy in outreach and service learning to support local students and educators. Some outreach programs are credit-bearing courses; others invite student participation more informally.

Faculty Outreach Programming

CREATE helps faculty think about how to leverage their work for local students and teachers. When funding allows, we help faculty fully execute their ideas for grants and outreach. See our Partnerships page for more examples, particularly in the CREATE STEM Success Initiative.
