Zusammenfassung: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. Este caso examina una investigación colaborativa de una universidad, una organización no-lucrativa, y varias escuelas medias y preparatorias con un número amplio de estudiantes apoyados pobremente. Las metas de esta colaboración fueron ancladas en un modelo de cambio cultural designado a fomentar la concientización y presencia universitaria de estudiantes latinos y áfrico-americanos. La investigación reveló las barreras y oportunidades inherentes en el modelo colaborativo de acuerdo a la perspectiva de los consejeros escolares y administradores.
