Coalition of Urban Serving Universities

The Coalition of Urban Serving Universities is a group of urban research universities in metropolitan areas with populations of 450,000 or more that have come together to develop a common urban university agenda. The Coalition's work focuses in three areas: building partnerships with K-12 schools, working with community groups to reduce urban health disparities, and supporting partnerships in community economic development and wealth building. In its work, the Coalition also aims to identify and expand innovative models of university-community partnerships across U.S. cities.
