The Community Engagement Conference, Connect, is hosted annually and brings VCU faculty and staff working on community engagement together with community partners, members, and non-profit leaders. 

This conference serves as a dynamic space to strengthen existing relationships, foster new collaborations, and align ongoing efforts for greater impact across the Richmond community.

CONNECT offers a platform to:

• Share innovative approaches to community-based teaching, research, and service
• Strengthen relationships across the university and the broader community
• Explore strategies for collaboration and long-term impact
• Inspire action rooted in mutual respect, shared goals, and community wisdom
