| Urban Community Partnership
Initiative
The Urban Community Partnership
Initiative (UCPI) is a new initiative of the College of Health
and Human Development at the Pennsylvania State University. The
initiative will take place in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The Harrisburg
area was selected for its unique geographic and demographic characteristics,
its proximity to University Park, and the wide variety of opportunities
for our students to engage with its diverse neighborhoods, many
state agencies and local human service/social service agencies.
The College of Health and Human Development has already
had a major presence in the Harrisburg community through its Prevention
Research Center and the Capital
Area Early Childhood Training Institute.
Both the Prevention
Research Center and the Capital
Area Early Childhood Training Institute have long standing commitments to
the local school district as well as to the early care and education
community in Harrisburg. |
