Southbay Synergy, Sewing a Seamless Progression in Higher Education.

Presenter(s): Edward Brand, Sweetwater Union High School District; Donna M. Hirsch, Sweetwater Union High School District; Stephen Weber, San Diego State University; Serafin A. Zasueta, Southwestern College
Convener: Marie E. Zeglen, Cleveland State University


San Diego¹s border communities are undergoing rapid student population growth and changing demographics. Mandates to expand student diversity and accessibility are challenging high school, community college, and university administrators to find a new fusion of higher education services. Project Synergy groups satellite campuses from three border area institutions to provide a single high tech site for a seamless community-based higher education service. Senior administrators will discuss what has worked and what challenges remain to realizeing their ambitious goals.


This knowledge resource from SCUP is a concurrent session presented at the Society's thirty-seventh annual, international conference and Expo, SCUP–37, in San Diego, CA (USA), in July of 2002.

Audiocassettes of this and other SCUP–37 sessions are available for purchase here.

Due to our concern for the privacy of members of the face-to-face audiences at SCUP–37, our digital archives of SCUP–37 presentations end at the beginning of the question and answer portion of each session. Whenever we can, we not only provide streaming audio but the slide show or visual presentation used by the presenters, as well.
