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:

“In St. Louis, For St. Louis” Initiative, Office of
the Chancellor

The “In St. Louis, For St. Louis” Initiative team was created by Chancellor Andrew Martin to strengthen WashU’s relationships with the St. Louis community. The team connects community leaders and organizations with the right people, programs, and opportunities at the university. It also helps ensure WashU’s resources are accessible and aligned with regional priorities.

Center for Community Health Partnership and Research

The Center for Community Health Partnership & Research (CCHPR) is a joint entity supported by the WashU’s Institute of Clinical and Translational Sciences and the Institute for Public Health. The mission of the CCHPR is to improve health and wellness in the region by fostering meaningful engagement between communities and researchers.

Confluence Collaborative for Community Engagement

Housed within the Office of the Provost, the Confluence Collaborative for Community Engagement 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.
