2025 UIC Urban Forum
April 8, 2025
11:30 AM - 4:00 PM
Registration now open! The 2025 UIC Urban Forum The Power of Community Engagement: Building Bridges for Shared Impact will take place on Tuesday, April 8th!
In an era marked by complex social, economic, and environmental challenges, the need for collaboration between anchor institutions and communities has never been more crucial. To be effective, community engagement must evolve beyond traditional outreach and reflect reciprocal partnerships and co-created solutions seeking sustainable impacts.
The UIC Urban Forum has traditionally explored important questions facing today’s cities. At the same time, the UIC College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs’ 30 years of community engagement experience has firmly established it as a leader in fostering meaningful connections and addressing local and global Issues. Join us for the 2025 event, where leaders from the community, academia, business and government will take these questions head-on with a program that showcases best practices, explores engagement models, and inspires partnerships that anchor institutions and communities to thrive together for a better future that benefits all.
Co-Chairs:
Marie Lynn Miranda, Chancellor, University of Illinois Chicago
Toni Preckwinkle, President, Cook County Board
