"Building bridges between the community and DePaul University.."
Recognizing that knowledge flows two ways, between academia and the community, the Egan office for UECP works closely with DePaul faculty members, students and community organizations to develop educational opportunities that are mutually beneficial. Community-based organizations expand the opportunities for scholars and students to develop relevant knowledge by working hands-on with community partners on a variety of projects. The community and the University meet through classes, community-based service learning projects, conferences, lectures and special events held on and off campus.
By modeling DePaul's Vincentian values in service to the community, the Egan Center has helped usher in a new era of community partnership. Among faculty and students who are working in the community, we have offered focus and synergy for their work. For those less active previously, "The Egan Way" has provided support and context to ease their involvement and improve research effectiveness.

The Egan Office for Urban Education and Community Partnership represents DePaul University's tangible and enduring commitment to the research, development, deliverance and transfer of innovative education-based programs and services that have a significant social impact.
Our mission gives concrete expression to the University's Vincentian commitment by extending opportunities for DePaul to collaborate with the Chicago community to alleviate poverty, promote social justice and address critical urban problems through teaching, service and scholarship.
