Community Engagement is a key component of VCU's Quest 2028 Strategic Plan. The university uses its special position in Central Virginia's economy and culture to tackle important needs identified by the community. It adjusts its programs to make the most impact through partnerships at local, regional, and international levels.

Partnerships, Alignment, Impact

DCE's Vision is to integrate community engagement in all aspects of VCU's work, with the goal of addressing societal inequities, bridging the university-community divide, and demonstrating civic responsibility through transformative action.
