Community Connect UW is a database and management platform that allows UW faculty, staff, students and community partners to connect, organize, and understand impacts of collaboration.
The aims of Community Connect UW are to:
- Serve as a coordinated hub of activity for UW and community members to explore, connect, communicate, share opportunities and collaborate on projects, courses and other efforts related to civic and community engagement.
- Document, track, visualize, report and assess community-engaged learning, civic engagement, community-based scholarship, and other activities across the three campuses’ students, faculty, partners and units.
- Enable learning across the university as faculty, staff and students understand the larger ecosystem and collaborate more effectively and efficiently.
- Increase transparency and accountability and reduce the barriers for community partners to collaborate with UW.
