There’s a lot going on in University City and we have your “new news” and “save the date” highlights available here on our web and social sites and in our print newsletter.
- Support University City News! Many thanks to all of UCCA’s supporters and UCCA paid members, our contributors, and our advertisers who help to cover the costs to keep the University City News in print.
- Free to read but not free to print. As we all know, many publications charge a fee to read articles on their website. UCCA’s newsletters are free as a University City community resource for everyone … but they are not free to produce and print.
