The overview
City University participants will receive an "up-close" look at how city services are provided through presentations, demonstrations and tours, according to the city's website.
Youth City University—which runs concurrently with the city's City University Program—is designed for local high school students.
“City University is a chance for residents to have a hands-on, interactive experience while exploring city facilities and hearing directly from city officials and employees," Jenna Vinson, director of communications and community engagement, said in a news release.
Both programs are eight weeks long. There will be classes weekly beginning March 26 from 5:30-8:30 p.m, the news release states.
