Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Its goal is prepare these individuals to be the future leaders of our multicultural society. The Posse Foundation supports students from diverse backgrounds by:
Expanding the pool from which top college and universities can recruit outstanding young leaders from diverse backgrounds
Helping these institutions build more interactive campus environments so that they can be more welcoming for people from all backgrounds
Ensuring that Posse Scholars persist in their academic studies and graduate so they can take on leadership positions in the workforce (The Posse Foundation, Inc., 2015).
