Metropolitan Universities: Civic Leadership Education at the University of Chicago

Joanie Friedman recruits for CLA

In Metropolitan Universities, the Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities’ (CUMU) quarterly online journal, Joanie Friedman, executive director of civic leadership in the Office of Civic Engagement, tells the story of how UChicago came to establish the Civic Leadership Academy.

The paper is based on Joanie's presentation at the 2018 CUMU Annual Conference in Chicago.

If you are interested in learning more about the University's approach to civic leadership education, what has been learned from the Civic Leadership Academy, and how this model might benefit your city, local universities, and civic sector, please contact Joanie at joaniefriedman@uchicago.edu.
