The Coalition of Urban Serving Universities (commonly referred to as USU) is a selective organization of 39 U.S. public, research universities located in metropolitan areas. The USU member schools began formally meeting in 2005.[1]

Governance

The USU Board of Directors is composed of Presidents and Chancellors of 10 member institutions. USU is headquartered in Washington, D.C.[2]

The coalition has four specific areas of focus with the goal of strengthening communities throughout the nation via health and community-involvement initiatives:[3]

  • The Education Pipeline/Urban Educator Corps - to improve the quality and quantity of urban teachers and implement evidence-based “cradle-to-career” education partnerships.
  • The Urban Health Initiative - to increase the number, diversity, and competence of the health workforce and reduce health disparities in urban communities.
  • The Strengthening Communities Initiative - to revitalize neighborhoods, build community capacity, and strengthen regional economies.
  • Student Performance - Fostering Student Achievement to identify, assess with appropriate metrics, and disseminate substantive, scalable best practices along the continuum of efforts that support student success and degree completion.
