The Urban Universities Portfolio Project was a collaboration among six urban public universities aimed at developing first-generation electronic institutional portfolios focused on demonstrating institutional effectiveness in the context of mission. With funding from The Pew Charitable Trusts, project universities worked on using electronic media to document and demonstrate for multiple audiences accomplishment in key areas of the urban public mission, such as student attainment of fundamental collegiate learning outcomes and civic engagement. At IUPUI, the project catalyzed several assessment and improvement initiatives, including a study of the integration of the Principles of Undergraduate Learning into teaching, learning, and assessment practices across the campus (Phase One of a Study of Student Learning). The IUPUI Portfolio was initially developed as part of IUPUI"s participation in the UUPP.
