INFRASTRUCTURE & FUNDING

THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS IS DESIGNED TO BE A CENTRAL SERVICE UNIT TO THE CAMPUS AND COMMUNITY. IT IS FUNDED IN PART BY GENERAL & DESIGNATED OPERATING FUNDS AND BY REVENUES FROM EXTERNALLY FUNDED COMMUNITY PROJECTS.

STAFFING Over the course of the three years, OCP has continued its efforts to build an internal infrastructure to support the work of our faculty, staff, and students. Since March 2020, staff pivoted to an online/remote work structure due to the COVID 19 pandemic and has returned to mostly in-person operations. Today, the OCP is staffed by an Executive Administrator, Program Coordinator, Technical Project Manager, and a part-time Marketing & Outreach Specialist. Additionally, the Center for Applied Urban Research is supported by a Data Analyst Intern (a current UWT graduate student).

ADVISORY COUNCILS OCP is supported by two advisory councils: a Faculty & Staff Advisory Council and a Community Advisory Council. Both serve as complementary bodies to coordinate and connect the various engagement activities occurring across campus and within the surrounding community. They also serve as a consultative body for issues pertaining to our public engagement agenda.
