Urban/Suburban Northwestern Consortium
Formed in 1996 as a collaboration between SESP and public and private, urban and suburban elementary, middle and secondary schools. The consortium was formed to create a cross-institutional community of educators committed to facilitating collaborative relationships across urban and suburban boundaries.
