HEALTH EQUITY INITIATIVES: The CSUS Science Educational Equity (SEE) Program is a comprehensive academic support program for students who face social, economic, and educational barriers to careers in the health professions, science research, and science teaching. The goals of the SEE program are to improve access to quality of health care in underserved communities and to foster inclusion of diverse perspectives in science research and science education that are attentive to the needs of our pluralistic society. To accomplish these goals, SEE sponsors a wide range of structured activities designed to build academic excellence, enhance personal development, and develop a sense of social responsibility. Perhaps most importantly, SEE strives to create a learning community in which students are expected to share their knowledge with other students, provide personal and moral support to each other, participate in academic and extracurricular activities, and expand their understanding and appreciation for the cultural experiences of all members of the SEE family.
