University Community Association

About our association

The University Community Association is a membership paid, not-for-profit community civic organization which, for over 35 years, has been working to make the University District in Columbus a better place to live and work.

UCA's support helped in influencing the City of Columbus build the Tuttle Recreation Center and outdoor pool. UCA was influential in having a Columbus Metropolitan branch library (Northside) located in the district. Many other improvements are the result of UCA members' involvent.

Our boundaries are in the City of Columbus, from Fifth Avenue north to the Glen Echo Ravine, between the Olentangy River and the railroad tracks west of I-71. There are many other neighborhood organizations in the District. U.C.A. is the "mother ship" civic organization, consisting mostly of homeowners who are dues paying members.

Our membership dues support the social events-the yearly ice cream social and holiday turkey dinner and spring and fall breakfast as well as publication and mailing of a regular newsletter. The University Community NEWS is published and mailed to over 600 residents and city officials at regular intervals.


If you are interested in joining U.C.A. and/or working on a committee to improve our quality of life, please join us, as we try to make our neighborhoods better places in which to live. Together we can do it.
