CLMER is a multi-disciplinary university-wide appointed entity housed in the College of Education at California State University, Long Beach. The Center works to widen access to opportunities and promote positive outcomes for diverse populations at all levels of schooling, preschool through post-graduate, and, generally, to promote the well-being of diverse, traditionally underserved and under-represented individuals and communities through comprehensive services, equitable community development approaches and a working commitment to social justice. The Center is directed by J. David Ramirez, a nationally recognized researcher and practitioner in the design, implementation and evaluation of a range of programs and policies affecting diverse populations, especially those at-risk, including, but not limited to, education for multilingual, multicultural populations; comprehensive educational, health and social services; substance-use prevention; and farmworker labor programs and policies.
