Support the Chicago Futures Initiative
About the Chicago Futures Initiative
We invite you to join us in fundraising for the future of Chicago and UPP! For over 50 years, UPP at UIC has educated a diverse student body to face complex urban issues across spatial scales. Our alumni and future students will confront myriad urban challenges, from climate change and environmental justice to persistent inequities in housing and transportation. All underscore the importance of problem-oriented, interdisciplinary approaches for making better plans and policies.
In celebration of our first 50 years in 2024 – and in anticipation of the years to come – we’re building The Chicago Futures Initiative, a programmatic and physical space for furthering our commitment to cutting-edge and community-engaged learning and research. Your donation directly invests in leadership, technology, and student success.
