The Office for Public Good Strategy and Research works to advance institutional readiness for collaboration among students, staff, faculty, and community partners for public good discovery.
The development, integration, and application of knowledge for collective thriving.
Sometimes contributions to public good discovery are direct, such through basic or applied research that advances understanding of public issues. Other times, contributions are indirect, such as when students develop skills that prepare them to solve problems through collaboration in the future.
The Office is home to initiatives and programs that advance collaboration for public good discovery.
In the face of pressing problems, change is possible when we work together. That belief is at the heart of DU Grand Challenges, which supports community-university collaboration for change.
The Public Good Celebration is an annual event hosted by the Office for Public Good Strategy & Research that celebrates university and community partners whose collaborative work advances the public good. Student, faculty, and staff are invited to submit their work to showcase at the Celebration.
The 2024 Public Good Celebration also celebrated DU's 2024 Carnegie Community Engagement Classification. To view this year's submitted works, visit the page below:
