SJSU's Center for Service-Learning has received a $25,000 award as one of five winners of the third Johnson & Johnson/Rosalyn Carter Institute Caregivers Program grant competition. The center was honored for a service-learning project in which college students will tutor older immigrants with limited English proficiency to help them better navigate the health care system for themselves and their families. Debra David, director of CSL, says that students from a variety of campus courses will work with older immigrants at community sites in San José. David will attend an awards ceremony with Rosalyn Carter, in Georgia, in November. See http://rci.gsw.edu/PR_03-09.htm.
