Center For Urban Transformation

The center for urban transformation’s goal is to assess and resolve issues that could hinder academic success/social growth for students, in a timely and culturally sensitive manner. The communities that they serve experience various issues that may hinder scholars from achieving their academic best. These problems include, but are not limited to basic clothing needs, food insecurity, physical and mental health, lack of stable housing, and many other psychological and domestic concerns. Often, these challenges negatively influence students and their ability to immerse themselves in a learning environment efficiently.
