Walk-through gives opportunity to hear from neighbors, build toward better collaboration

Chancellor Philip DiStefano and Chief Operating Officer Patrick O���Rourke spent an hour walking about 6 blocks of University Hill with members of the Hill Revitalization Working Group Friday afternoon.泭

The purpose of the walk was to hear neighbors��� concerns and build towards better university-neighborhood collaboration following the March 6 riot.泭

The group visited several sites, including the site of the riot, and discussed next steps to prevent future problems.

���This is a perfect example of the cooperation we want to support with our neighbors,��� said Chancellor Distefano. ���Relationships with neighborhood groups, the city and the university are the cornerstone of this community and we���re committed to working with the community to improve the experience on the Hill for residents and students.���
