Universities play vital role in cities
Universities are not just for enriching the knowledge of students willing to pay the price of admission; they are also capable of making meaningful contributions to the economic status of the regions they occupy.
This was the main point of Kenneth Reardon’s kick off of UT’s Outreach and Engagement Week on Monday.
Reardon, associate professor at Cornell University, said universities are excellent in promoting economic and community development in the most distressed of neighborhoods.

"Many colleges and universities must have a mission involving public service and democracy," he said.
