Center for Urban and Regional Excellence

The Center for Urban and Regional Excellence (CURE) at Indiana University Northwest engages the University and the community in the creation of positive, sustainable and impactful programs and initiatives. CURE works collaboratively with organizations in all sectors to promote continued learning, solution-based interaction and mutually-beneficial partnerships in our communities.  

The center has three goals: These goals are 1) to facilitate the institutionalization of community engagement and engaged scholarship on the IU Northwest campus, 2) to provide the community with opportunities to engage with the university through focused community outreach and education, 3) to strengthen existing and increase future mutually beneficial community-university partnerships that result in authentic collaborative relationships.

CURE meets these goals by collaborating with external and internal partners in the design, implementation and evaluation of community-based research, teaching and service initiatives.
