Community engagement

Working with and for communities across Washington

The University of Washington Bothell is committed to reciprocal partnerships that contribute to the just and equitable development of the North Puget Sound region and Washington state. Our work with our students and community partners seeks to leverage our teaching and research in ways that increase the capacity of our region to identify and address local, national, and global challenges and opportunities. 


Discover all the ways you can partner with us

UW Bothell invites external partners, from industry and nonprofits to government and community groups, to collaborate in ways that support student learning, faculty research and regional impact. Whether you’re posting internships, co-developing projects or joining public events, there are many opportunities to connect and contribute.
