Faculty and Staff Community Engagement Resources
Below is a curated list of resources that may serve UW faculty and staff in their community-engaged work or careers. These resources were gathered through a tri-campus landscape assessment of the UW and the larger ecosystem. They are organized broadly by purpose, though some serve multiple purposes, and sorted from general to specific. UW resources are listed first, followed by other resources.
