The Institute for Municipal and Regional Policy (IMRP) became the successor organization to the Connecticut Institute for Municipal Studies (CIMS) in 2002 when leaders in the legislature and executive branch called upon Central Connecticut State University (CCSU) to build upon CIMS's mission in an academic setting. We are now located within the UConn School of Public Policy in the Downtown Hartfor
d Campus. Joining UConn will provide IMRP access to a talented community of educators and researchers. In addition, given our new location, IMRP will be able to expand its community engagement initiatives in Connecticut’s Capitol city. As the IMRP embarks on this new and exciting chapter, we look forward to your continued partnership. Given the societal issues prevalent today, IMRP, especially with the support of UConn, is poised to further engage in activities for the betterment of all. We know, however, that this can only be done if we all work together, valuing each other’s experiences as we strive for a more perfect union.
