Center for Urban and Public Affairs
The Center for Urban and Public Affairs (CUPA) at Wright State
University (WSU) is one of eight
centers of excellence comprising the Ohio Urban University Program (UUP).
The UUP links the resources of member universities to improve the
state's urban regions. This 25-year partnership is unique in the nation.
The State of Ohio through the Ohio Board of Regents’ (OBOR)
programs funds UUP institutions. State funds received by WSU are matched
3-to-1 by WSU resources and through contract research.
CUPA operates within the Department of Urban Affairs and Geography,
College of Liberal Arts. Staff and faculty participate in projects and
outreach both locally and statewide addressing a wide range of social,
economic, environmental, governance, and spatial issues. Through applied
research, technical assistance, training, database development, and GIS
services, CUPA is able to meet the needs of public and non-profit sector
organizations in the Miami Valley region and beyond.
