Engage STL Days are a way for WashU students to get off campus and get to know various neighborhoods throughout St. Louis. Each Engage STL Day is an immersive experience in which students get to hear from community partners and visit local businesses, landmarks, and organizations.
From South Grand to The Ville, Cahokia Mounds to Downtown—the communities of the Greater St. Louis region each hold unique histories, challenges, and opportunities. Engage STL Days offer undergraduate, graduate, and professional students the opportunity to learn from St. Louis community members and deepen their connections within the region.
Engage STL Days:
- are offered during three weekends each semester.
- are designed to accommodate 20 to 25 students and are four to five hours long.
- incorporate three or four destinations, each with a community or organization speaker, event, landmark, and/or meal.
WashU departments interested in co-sponsoring an Engage STL experience and community organizations interested in hosting a group of students in their neighborhood can contact the Gephardt Institute to explore potential collaborations.
