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. View and download the month’s issue and 23+ years of University City history at: universitycitynews.org/ucca-newsletter-archives/
Unlike many community town councils and community associations, UCCA continues to publish a print newsletter.
