Posted by Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities on November 17, 2026

Colleges and universities are centers of learning and discovery, but they are also major employers, purchasers, investors, and civic partners in their communities. The anchor mission provides a framework for higher education institutions to advance economic prosperity and community well-being in the regions they call home.

This certificate program is designed to meet the needs of faculty, staff, students, and community partners of urban and metropolitan campuses. Anyone interested in learning more about the anchor mission in higher education is invited to participate. All are welcome!
