14th Annual CUMU Conference: Building Bridges to Regional Stewardship

Northern Kentucky University and the University of Cincinnati are proud to co-host the 14th Annual CUMU Conference.  The conference theme, "The Metropolitan University of the 21st Century: Building Bridges to Regional Stewardship," presents urban and metropolitan universities the opportunity to exchange ideas, lessons learned, best practices, and research.  As more institutions identify with CUMU's urban and metropolitan mission, the conference becomes increasingly important to ensure that we all reach our full potential as individual institutions that are part of a collaborative coalition. The conference will be held October 18-21, 2008.
