The cMap below shows some of the work interns did.

As you wander through this cMap you'll also want to read this article, where you can find an even fuller list of interns and work they have done.
While there was a consistent flow of interns, they were not coming as part of a strategic plan of the university, to reduce poverty in areas where the university was located, or to support a pipeline of students moving from Pre-K through high school, college, then into jobs and careers.
Thus, you won't find a page on any university website with a collection of articles and intern work similar to what you see on this blog. Or on-going efforts, described in the visualization below, to draw people from the university community and its alumni, along with it's surrounding community, into on-going conversations aimed at "How can we do this better?".
It does not need to be this way. Anyone can use this blog as an archive, and a museum, and a teaching tool. The ideas are as useful today as they were when each project was first created.
The ideas apply to any area with high concentrations of poverty. The process applies to building a better understanding of any complex problem and mobilizing more people to be involved in creating on-going, long-term solutions.
How to start? Create an independent study program where a few students begin to dig into my blogs to learn what I do and ways the ideas can be part of an on-going university-based strategy, funded by one or more wealthy alumni.
I'll help you. If you want, students can join the Tutor/Mentor forum on Ning, and I can coach them, just as I did with past interns.
Or, we can connect on ZOOM, or on BlueSky, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter or Instagram.
