SAN FRANCISCO CONSORTIUM

The San Francisco Consortium was formed in the fall of 1967 by five institutions: City College of San Francisco, Golden Gate College, San Francisco State College, University of California-San Francisco Medical Center and the University of San Francisco. Its primary purpose is to be the instrument through which the resources of the major local univeritites are brought to bear on the problems of the urban environmnet. A second purpose is to provide a means by which selected educational research and service programs of the participating institutions may be impoved and strengthened by coordination, exchange or joint ventures. Early emphasis has been on establishing better cooperation among the particpating institutions, and on improving the working relationship between these institutions and the community.
