As a part of our commitment to the region, we seek to leverage our strengths in order to advance health, educational opportunities, economic mobility and racial equity for all St. Louisans. Our strong partnerships with local entities are growing, and we&＃8217;re dedicated to building bridges for a prosperous future.  This report, developed by WashU’s Government and Community Relations team, shines a light on WashU’s regional impact and our commitment to our equitable economic growth within our community. Learn more about Government and Community Relations Economic and Community Impact Fiscal Year 2023 People, purchasing and construction As part of WashU’s broader efforts to partner with St. Louis businesses, University Dining Services invited five additional local minority or woman-owned restaurants to open locations at campus eateries. Beast Craft BBQ, Collins Farms, Corner 17, LaJoy’s Coffee Cafe, and The Fattened Caf joined four other female or minority-owned restaurants already operating on campus, including Coffeestamp. The coffee roaster and bakery was founded by brothers Patrick and Spencer Clapp, who grew up in Honduras. Operating a second location inside WashU has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. We’ve been able to grow our business and, with that, help our team members to grow with us by offering benefits and better wages.

One such program is the John C. Morris Fellowship, a partnership between the Gephardt Institute for Civic and Community Engagement and the Greater Missouri chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. Morris Fellows advance a range of the association’s priorities, from identifying communities in need of services to analyzing new laws for their impact on residents with dementia. Morris Fellows receive a $6,000 summer stipend plus $250 to spend in the community at restaurants, farmers markets and other attractions. Would this work get done if they weren’t here? Yes—it has to. But we are able to dig deeper and move faster. The fellows are so bright and insightful. And because of the work of the Gephardt Institute, they come to us with an understanding of the nuances of St. Louis.” Sarah Lovegreen of the Alzheimer’s Association $2.8Msupport for community orgs and neighborhoods$266Mlocal purchasing$212Mstudent spending in the region K–12 educational opportunities WashU’s Institute for School Partnership (ISP) serves nearly every district in the region and some 60 independent schools. Programs include mySci, ISP’s award-winning inquirybased science curriculum; STEM Teacher Quality, the long-running professional development initiative; and STEMpact District Immersion, an effort to improve math education. ISP collaborates with educators to put research into practice for better lessons and classroom practices, as well as improved school culture and communications. The partnership with St. Louis Public Schools is showing results at Ashland Elementary and Meramec Elementary. Recent MAP scores show a 2.5-fold increase in math and 5-fold increase in science. This experience has opened my eyes to different ways of doing things. When you are not focused on checking boxes and one little lesson, you can let the lesson flow so kids really take ownership of their own learning.

In 2021, WashU shifted to need-blind admissions. Beginning in Fall 2024, undergraduate students’ federal loans will be removed from all financial aid packages and replaced with scholarships and university grants. Going forward, this will allow WashU students to graduate debt free. The WashU Pledge provides complete undergraduate education—including tuition, fees, housing, and meals—to students across Missouri and in southern Illinois with annual family incomes of $75,000 or less, while the Heartland Initiative brings talented students from rural areas to the university. And the School of Continuing and Professional Studies offers flexible opportunities for modern learners to obtain a WashU education. $477Minvestment in financial aid83WashU Pledge students enrolled$6.7Min FY23 total gift aid support for WashU Pledge enrollment $6.3Min FY23 total gift aid support for Gateway to Success enrollment21%Class of 2027 students who are Pell-eligible Community health and support This year, WashU launched the Danforth St. Louis Confluence Award to honor faculty members who collaborate with local organizations and agencies to make St. Louis a healthier, stronger community. Among the honorees: Matthew Kreuter, a Brown School expert who worked to increase vaccination rates among vulnerable St. Louisans; Bettina Drake, a School of Medicine epidemiologist who leads Siteman Cancer Center’s outreach efforts to eliminate cancer disparities; Andrew Butler, an education researcher in Arts & Sciences who is studying student mobility rates; and Wyly Brown, a Sam Fox School designer who joined College Hill residents to create a park in the only St. Louis neighborhood without one. The park makes the community because the park is where people go to relax. And when you’re relaxed you can find a calmness that brings peace.
