CBGCampus Profiles

• SMHP staff worked with CARS to compose individual profiles for each CBG. The profiles include information drawn from training and technical assistance calls made between the CBGs and CARS, as well as information from the executive summaries included in the CBGs grant proposals.

• Prior to finalizing the profiles, each CBG was provided the opportunity to review and modify their campuses profile.

• Profiles will be useful for campuses and will be shared with external stakeholders wanting additional information about program activities.
