Tualatin Launches Partnership with the University of Oregon

Tualatin and the University of Oregon officially kicked off the Sustainable City Year Program on Thursday, October 16. The Sustainable City Year Program (SCYP) helps communities solve the problems of today and lays the groundwork for a sustainable, livable future—all while helping students prepare for the workforce through applied learning. During the 2025-26 partnership year, SCYP will match resources from existing university courses to high priority projects identified by the Tualatin community, with a particular focus on supporting downtown revitalization efforts. Communities emerge from SCYP partnerships with increased community outreach, expanded conversations, and cutting-edge solutions, while students emerge better prepared to enter the workforce. 

The kickoff celebration, held at the Tualatin Public Library, was attended by leaders from Tualatin and the University of Oregon, faculty, students, local elected officials, and community members.
