HECUA, the Higher Education Consortium For Urban Affairs, has announced the unfortunate closure of its operations due to the financial strain caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. With the suspension of international programs and a significant decline in enrollment, HECUA is unable to sustain its operations. The organization is exploring options to rehome its programs within other higher education institutions and organizations, ensuring that its legacy lives on through the thousands of alumni who continue to champion social justice and peace-building efforts worldwide. Despite the devastating news, HECUA remains committed to supporting students affected by the program cancellations, offering refunds and assistance in collaboration with consortium schools. The Board of Directors is also working to preserve the organization's extensive 50-year archive of programs and welcomes individuals to share their stories of how HECUA has impacted their lives. While the closure is a significant loss, HECUA's mission and vision will continue to inspire and shape the work of social justice changemakers in the years to come.Generated from the website
