Socially Engaged Practice

Socially engaged practice takes on the systemic social, environmental, and economic challenges of our day. Sam Fox School faculty, students, and staff work with individuals, organizations, governments, and communities, especially in St. Louis, through our research, teaching, and practice. This includes community-engaged teaching, service programs, research projects, and more. Check out some of our recent endeavors below:
