Campus-Community Policing Partnerships (CCPP)
Department of Justice is funding Campus-Community Policing Partnerships at three HBCUs. All partners are committed to working collaboratively with UNCFSP, one another, and their communities to identify, develop and implement innovative, proactive community policing strategies. With UNCFSP assistance, partnerships will conduct targeted focus groups and deploy surveys to identify violent crime and gang issues, community and police perceptions of these issues, challenges surrounding the issues, and new strategies.

Learn and Serve Program (LASP)
The UNCFSP Learn & Serve Grant Program, sponsored by the
Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) and
the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) Liberty Life Insurance Company,
is a three-year initiative to increase the quality and quantity of
community service and service learning practices and programs
on HBCU campuses and in surrounding communities that
address health disparities in racial and ethnic communities.
Institutions integrate service learning programs in their
curriculum; disseminate these models within the HBCU network,
other Minority Serving Institutions and health professional
organizations; and establish viable community partnerships.
Launched in 2004, the Learn & Serve grantees include Benedict
College, Columbia, SC; Dillard University, New Orleans, LA;
Lane College, Jackson, TN; LeMoyne-Owen College, Memphis,
TN; Rust College, Holly Springs, MS; Wiley College, Marshall,
TX; and Xavier University of Louisiana, New Orleans, LA. These
seven HBCUs, representing rural, suburban, and urban areas
with student populations ranging from 800 to over 4,000, are
providing students with rewarding experiences while helping to
create healthier communities.
