This case study examines a P-20 action research partnership involving a university, a nonprofit organization, and several middle and high schools with sizeable enrollments of underserved students. The partnership’s goals were rooted in a cultural change model designed to encourage college awareness and attendance among largely Latino and African American students. The research reveals the barriers and opportunities inherent in a collaborative model from the perspective of school counselors and administrators.

Key Words: collaboration • educational reform • organizational theory/change • school—university collaboration • college access • action research • P-20 • P-16 • Latino/Hispanic • African American/Black
