Community Engagement Knowledge Hub

Partnering as a Pathway to Positive Impacts

Community engagement is central to the University of Washington’s mission: learning with and from communities is deeply embedded in our public service ethos and is embodied in the work of faculty, staff and students. While recognizing past challenges, the UW is committed to fostering inclusive, respectful partnerships and enhancing community-engaged scholarship across all campuses and facets of university activity.

This website features stories and updates about community engagement across the University of Washington, along with guidelines and resources to improve these practices. It also includes directories, awards, assessment initiatives like the Carnegie Foundation designation and tools such as the Community Connect UW system to support the development, management and sustenance of partnerships.
