A Center for Urban Education and Policy (CUEP) at UNF

The College of Education and Human Services (COEHS) is continually asked to take a leadership role in the urban education arena--nationally, regionally and locally; to serve as “dot connector” for a growing array of regional initiatives; and to provide research to inform the decision-making of educators and philanthropists. To address these issues, the Center for Urban Education and Policy was initiated through the Robinson Eminent Scholar Endowment Fund at UNF established by the late Fred Schultz. The Center aims to foster collaborative efforts to catalyze educational leadership from all sectors in the community and develop a core body of knowledge that can effectively guide policy and decision-making. Ultimately, this initiative will create a new sense of partnership between COEHS faculty and staff, the Dean’s Education Advisory Council, and community educational stakeholders.
