Get Involved at the Center for Urban Research
The Center for Urban Research connects students, researchers, policymakers, residents, and nonprofit organizations with opportunities to collaborate. Whether you're a student looking to contribute to impactful research, a faculty member interested in this field, or an organization interested in collaborating on an applied research project, there are multiple ways to engage. Through events, courses, and ongoing opportunities for partnerships, we create pathways for innovation and community impact.
