Delmar Divine, 5501 Delmar Blvd.

Real change happens when communities and universities stop working in parallel and start building together. The Power of Partnership brings community-based organizations, community members, and academic partners into one room for a day of honest exchange and shared learning to begin collective problem-solving.

Centering the voices and expertise of community-based organizations, this convening moves beyond one-off, transactional projects toward something more durable: partnerships rooted in mutual trust, shared frameworks, and the infrastructure needed to sustain equitable, community-engaged scholarship over time.

Expect candid conversation, practical tools, and connections that outlast the day itself. Come ready to learn from one another, challenge old models of engagement, and help build the shared foundation for partnerships that truly work — for communities and scholars alike.

Open to WashU staff and faculty, as well as the greater St. Louis community.

Presented by the St. Louis Integrated Health Network and the WashU Confluence Collaborative for Community Engagement. Please direct any questions to confluence@wustl.edu.
