Civic Action Plan
Civic engagement and community collaborations have always been at the heart of the University of Missouri – St. Louis (UMSL). As a land grant institution, it is built into our mission. As a member of Campus Compact, we work alongside institutions across the nation to advance the public purposes of higher education by supporting community-based teaching, learning, research, and practice to improve community life and educate students for civic and social responsibility. View the Civic Action Plan here.
