The Environmental Studies program engages with many St. Louis initiatives and organizations. Through community-engaged courses, a community internship program, faculty research, and collaborative events, we have found that some of our best work lies at the nexus of student learning, faculty expertise, and community impact.

Environmental Studies hosts a Community Engagement Manager as a resource to support faculty, staff, students, and community partners in collaborative, community-engaged environmental work. The Community Engagement Manager can help you:

•  Think through how to structure a new or existing community-engaged course
• Apply for funding to develop a course or project
• Connect with partners on and off campus with complementary interests
• Figure out if and how your organization can work with WashU Environmental Programs

To learn more, contact Griffin Knipp, Community Engagement Manager for Environmental Studies.
