UCCA’s University City News print newsletter is unique. It is the only source of hyperlocal news in University City. You will find news and features here that you won’t find anywhere else. UCCA thanks all the UCCA dues-paying members, donors, contributors, volunteers, the County Board of Supervisors, and newsletter advertisers who help to keep us in print.

Unlike many community town councils and community associations, UCCA publishes a print newsletter. Our volunteers are confident that you, our readers, value the University City News as much as UCCA does. We thank you for your support and donations that help keep our newsletter in print. We appreciate you and your support. If you haven’t done so already, you can make a donation and/or update your membership UCCA for 2024 at: Join UCCA Today!
There’s a lot going on in University City during April. Many meetings and deadlines are associated with the Community Plan Update (see⚠️ below). UCCA is keeping you informed through our websites, e-mail blasts, newsletter and by hosting public meetings. We share information so that you can stay informed and connect with neighbors, friends, and public officials as we all strive to keep University City more than just a neighborhood.
