Tools, Information, Motivation, Education

Each summer, the Center for Higher Education Policy Analysis (CHEPA) hosts a rigorous four week writing program designed for low-income, first generation college-bound LAUSD high school juniors and seniors. SummerTIME's goal is to insure that students learn not only how to write a paper within a university context, but also how to access the resources which support college-level work and bolster college-going success.
