Associated Projects

We have developed high road strategies and solutions since our founding in 1990, providing both thought leadership and the avenues through which to implement these ideas. Below are just a few of the organizations that we helped found, develop, or seed over the years.

Through education, outreach, technical assistance, and research that is grounded in the priorities of local governments, and through bridge-building engagement with policy initiatives, UniverCity Alliance improves the places and lives of people throughout Wisconsin and the world.

The EPIC Model unites the human capital of universities with local governments, and communities, to improve the quality of life and social wealth for all involved. High Road Strategy Center is a founding member.
