Community Connections

The Center for Partnerships to Improve Education promotes partnerships involving education majors, education faculty, and our local community. Get involved by participating in one of CPIE’s programs:

• Conduct research with an education faculty member (and get paid).
• Start building your own inclusive classroom library.
• Spend extended time training in a high-poverty school.
• Get funding for your student club’s community service project.

Even faculty members can get funding to support service-learning or community-based research projects.

The FitCatZ program is an aquatic and motor program designed for children with disabilities. The program’s goal is to help participating children become efficient movers in a fun and safe environment. Each child in the program is assigned a trained volunteer student clinician who will work one-on-one with the child during the aquatic and motor program.

FitCatZ is open to children with a range of physical, intellectual, behavioral, and emotional disabilities ranging in age from 2 to 18 years old at the start of the program.
