Chicago’s universities and colleges built and opened an unprecedented number of new and renovated facilities to serve students and faculty teaching and research over the period from 2014-2019.
One Hundred AUC institution faculty, students, staff and community partners gathered at Roosevelt University to discuss the underlying causes of violence and the role of higher education in partnering to develop solutions. Their work came from the deep concern of AUC university leadership for the continuing cycle of violence in the city that affected so many of Chicago’s neighborhoods and youth. AUC has worked over several years to implement the ideas developed at the workshop.
