After several impactful years as CURA's Director of Community Based Research, C Terrence Anderson is leaving CURA to focus on his recently launched coffee business and spend more time with his family. During his tenure, C Terrence led CURA's community programs with work ranging from the Community-Based Research Program, the Blue Line Anti-Displacement Work Group, the St. Paul Rent Stabilization Stakeholder Group, Housing Stability Grants, and the Krusell Fellowship.
C Terrence brought passion and dedication to his role in connecting University resources with community partners, always centering equity and justice in his approach. He was particularly instrumental in developing CURA's Racial Equity Framework, which demands that CURA's research work is contextualized, community-centered, and reparative. As he moves into his next chapter, we're grateful for C Terrence's exceptional leadership and the lasting impact of his work with CURA's community partners.
