The WashU Community Engagement Office, located at the Delmar DivINe, embodies WashU’s commitment to bridging connections with our surrounding community. This vibrant space is dedicated to fostering collaboration and building meaningful relationships.
Anchor teams
The WashU Community Engagement Office is home to three anchor teams representing efforts throughout the university, including:
St. Louis Initiatives team, Office of the Chancellor
Chancellor Martin has designated the St. Louis Initiatives team as WashU’s primary liaison to community leaders and key institutions in the St. Louis region. Serving as a “front door” to WashU, the team collaborates with university stakeholders to facilitate partnerships and connect the community with WashU.
Center for Community Health Partnership and Research
The Center for Community Health Partnership & Research (CCHPR) is a joint entity supported by the Washington University’s Institute of Clinical and Translational Sciences and the Institute for Public Health. The mission of the CCHPR is to reduce disparities and improve health and wellness in the region by fostering meaningful engagement between communities and researchers.
St. Louis Confluence Collaborative for Community-Engaged Research, Teaching and Practice (joining in Summer 2024)
Housed within the Office of the Provost, the Confluence Collaborative will serve as an organizing platform and convening unit for community-engaged research, teaching and practice across WashU, with St. Louis needs at the forefront.
