The donation, totaling $993,125, is the sec ond-largest private foundation grant in the university's history. The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation donated the money, which the College of Education will use to help pri mary and secondary schools nationwide create after-school programs. The program, which will be named the Resource Network for After-school and Community Education, will strengthen the after-school and community partnerships initiative Congress launched in 1997 by giv ing $40 million to community learning cen ters. One of the first grants went to Columbi a's Hand Middle School, where USC Presi dent John Palms announced the grant on Monday. Dr. Terry Peterson will direct the re source network at USC during its five-year tenure. He will work with state and feder al agencies to develop partnerships between schools and their communities. Peterson will also become an educational foundation senior fellow with USC. Peterson was a top adviser to former U.S. Secretary of Educa tion Dick Riley and was his education ad viser during Riley's term as governor of South Carolina. Palms said the grant will set the College of Education apart as an international leader in the movement to establish safe af ter-school programs. I “This initiative and the leadership of Ter ry Peferson will put USC's College of Edu cation at the forefront of the after-school and community school movement and bol ster the university's capacity to improve public education strategies for South Car olina,” Palms said. Les Sternberg, the dean of the College of Education, agreed with Palms. “Hopefully, [the program] will establish the school as the center of the community's overall function,” he said. He said if school-age children don't have after-school programs, they tend to get into trouble “It's very, very important in terms of what it will mean... to kids in our schools and in after-school programs,” Sternberg said. Peterson expressed similar sentiments. “More than 8 million children come home from school and do not have adult su pervision,” he said. “And this is a critical time of day when most kids get into trou ble. We want to ensure that these kids have a place where they are safe and where they can go for academic enrichment and to do their homework.” The after-school centers are often called “homework centers” and were established after the 1998 South Carolina school reform law giving aid to academically struggling students. The resource network has a satellite of fice at the College of Charleston. -1 lani difranco I with special guest bitch and animal I thursday, October 18 1 I township auditorium I I Columbia,sc I I v huDBto irnoDuciuNs revelling Q reckoning n AND AC ENTERTAINMENT J\ available now on righteous babe records Don’t miss your chance to receive a FREE $5 Gift Certificate!
