Every ask we make eventually finds the right person. UHCA President Marc Johnson welcomes new volunteer coordinator James Lew, thanks the board and team leads who keep University Heights running, and bids a fond farewell to Lauren Doucette as she moves to Normal Heights — opening a search for a new events leader.

University Heights Community Association builds impact through partnerships—with businesses, the City, nonprofits, and members. Recent collaborations include a challenge grant for refurbishing the UH Trolley Sign and joint Summer Concerts with UHCDC. UHCA’s umbrella model supports groups like the Garden Club and Arts Association, enabling growth without reinventing infrastructure.

University Heights lives Pride year-round: home to Diversionary Theatre and Lambda Archives, abundant rainbow flags, LGBTQ-owned shops, and welcoming neighbors. Residents celebrate visible community life on Park Boulevard; visitors are invited to stroll in July, say hello, and spend at businesses flying the colors.

UHCA President Marc Johnson celebrates the volunteer team behind Party on Park 2026 and goes behind the scenes on how UH News comes together each month. A commitment to transparency ensures the neighborhood's voice stays authentically human.
