CIVITAS is the School of Urban Studies student organization.

Mission

CIVITAS promotes education and networking for a better understanding of current urban issues. The organization strives to increase active participation among UW Tacoma students, faculty, alumni, and the local community in order to make positive impacts in Tacoma and the surrounding communities. Founded in 2001, Civitas has invited civic leaders, public officials, and academics to discuss topics such as urban planning, sustainable infrastructure, and smart cities!

Benefits

Gaining a community of peers within the School of Urban Studies and being able to have the confidence of being able to network with peers, faculty, alumni, and professionals in the field. We also strive to attend events and conferences in our field.
