The School of Cities acts as a connective and intellectual hub for students, faculty and visitors. The School provides opportunities for students to gain firsthand experience in urban research and community-engaged learning and supports their professional development, extra- and co-curricular activities. We work with graduate and undergraduate students, community experts and affiliated faculty to build a forum for the co-creation of social impact, innovative projects and knowledge dissemination.
