The Coalition has continued to grow and evolve over the years as more higher education institutions identify themselves as urban and metropolitan.

What some are saying...
"The Coalition allows me to interact with other universities confronting the same challenges and opportunities as my university – it’s an invaluable forum for the exchange of ideas and strategies".
~James Votruba
President, Northern Kentucky University
"From an international perspective, CUMU helps York understand the issues particular to running a large, commuter campus in a big city like Toronto. As North America’s fifth largest city, Toronto has its fair share of pressures and York is not immune to them. Understanding the modern dynamic between metropolis and campus is key to understanding how York can best serve its various communities.
