The Catalyst is a quarterly newsletter that explores partnerships between Washington University and the St. Louis community. This newsletter features community voices through a series of “notes from the field,” as well as resources and opportunities available to facilitate collaboration and enrich our region. Submit resources, events, and other opportunities for involvement and support by completing the form below. Our next edition will cover all opportunities taking place in early May through the end of July 2020. Please review the following submission guidelines and contact Nichole Murphy, Community Engagement Fellow, with any questions at nnmurphy@wustl.edu. If you have an announcement geared toward WashU students and employees, you can also submit to our weekly Opportunities newsletter using the form below. Please note that this newsletter is only distributed when fall and spring classes are in session.
