Community of Practice

Community of Practice

The University of Pittsburgh’s Engagement Community of Practice (ECOP) is a supportive network that shares an interest in advancing the institution’s ecosystem of community-oriented and partnered teaching & learning, research, service, outreach, and programming.   

Community engagement is an institutional priority at the University of Pittsburgh, supported in many ways and by many units. The ECOP is just one of the ways the Provost’s Office works closely with the Office of Community & Governmental Relations to undertake activities that advance, elevate and celebrate the practices of community engagement.

Pitt’s ECOP convenes once per term (Fall, Spring, & Summer) and maintains an active online community through SharePoint (requires Pitt login). To join the group, please provide some information about yourself and your role through the following survey.

The Office of Engagement and Community Affairs publishes an outreach & engagement newsletter twice per month, please sign-up here to receive.
