The Center for Urban Ecology
(CUE)
The vision of the CUE is to be a national
leader in the study and practice of urban ecology.
In the liberal arts tradition, we view urban
ecology as inherently interdisciplinary and
aspire to create a culture within Butler and
in the city of Indianapolis that recognizes the
fundamental importance of ecological knowledge
for a sustainable society.
The mission of the CUE is to innovatively
explore, steward and enhance urban ecosystems.
The CUE operates with a foundation in ecological
science and facilitates interdisciplinary
research and education, place-based projects,
and public outreach by engaging Butler students,
faculty, staff and community partners.
CUE activities include:
• CUE internship program that places
students with our community partners
for real-world experience
• Students participate in long-term research
projects sponsored by faculty and the CUE
such as managing the Butler Campus Farm
• Students are encouraged to design and
implement new projects through the CUE
• CUE sponsors service projects on campus
and in the community
• Outreach programs with local nonprofit
organizations, local governments and local
schools
