On August 28th 2001, the University of California and Ross Elementary School entered into a mentoring agreement for the purpose of creating strong community relationships and providing programs and services to enhance the educational experience of Ross School students and teachers. UC students are also encouraged to undertake internships at Ross Elementary.
