Office for Socially Engaged Practice

The Sam Fox School’s Office for Socially Engaged Practice connects students and faculty to communities in St. Louis and beyond to collaborate on meaningful projects in art, architecture, and design. These collaborations allow students to experience St. Louis beyond the WashU campus while supporting education, innovation, and more in our community.



What we do


Our Work

The Office for Socially Engaged Practice facilitates a variety of programs, from the longstanding University City Public Art Series and Alberti Program: Architecture for Young People, to newer initiatives like student fellowships and faculty grants. In each case, the office connects WashU students and faculty to community partners working on real-world issues.
