The Urban Cohort (UC) was created at Miami University by Dr. Tammy Schwartz. Miami's center for Community Engagement in Over-the-Rhine, provides the resources essential for many Urban Cohort experiences. Through trust built up over decades, the Center has established meaningful collaborations between the university and community groups. The Center also provides apartments and offers a semester-lon
g residency program that is collaboratively taught by Miami faculty and community members. Have you considered enhancing your degree at Miami University by developing experience working WITH Urban Communities for change and justice? At Miami University, we have an Urban Cohort program for students to complement their current major(s) with enriching, diverse, community-based experiences designed to have you working with your peers across disciplines while sitting at the table WITH residents in urban communities.
