Westside Communities Alliance

g the Atlanta University Center consortium, Georgia Tech, and Georgia State University — are on the West Side, and over half of the city's college students conduct their studies there. The Alliance would serve as a nexus point for area communities and institutions to tackle local challenges and find points of unity. We seek to be a model for multi-institutional engaged scholarship and service for Atlanta, as well as a resource for communities in need of partners and expertise. Through an exchange of knowledge, innovative and effective projects, and by developing sustainable partnerships between our collaborators to assist the City with revitalization and development of Atlanta's West Side, we envision an urban future as one where we stand united in support of strong, vibrant communities.
