From violent conflict prevention research and education to focusing on early childhood
development issues, the School of Social Sciences' community outreach programs take
a global approach to solving global community issues. Locally, our research centers
provide professional public presentations by recognized political and social figures
as well as public intellects and scholarly experts. At the national level, our social
science scholarship contributes to public policy developments in issues of great relevance
to California and the nation. On a global scale, our faculty and students spend many
hours each year contributing their expertise to improvement of local, state, national
and international communities and institutions.

The Ambassador's Council has been created to promote and enrich the School by supporting
new and existing school-wide/department projects. It collectively will act as an official
student voice in discussing and program development with administrators and department
chairs/faculty.

The School of Social Sciences is hoping to connect its academic and human capital
with selected underrepresented schools within Orange County. Through in class lectures
& inter-active lessons we hope to introduce students to the concepts and realities
of global markets, post-cold war political identities, borderless social issues (
literacy, hunger, AIDS), international organizations ( the World Bank, the United
Nations) and the multi-dimensional themes of globalization.

Jumpstart was founded in 1993 at Yale University at the intersection of two national
trends: the public need for quality early childhood programs and the emerging national
service movement recruiting thousands of college students to community service. Jumpstart
connects these trends by recruiting, training, and supervising college students to
work with Head Start and other early childhood programs in low-income neighborhoods
to provide one-to-one attention to young children struggling in preschool.
