The University Community Partnerships Program (UCPP) was established by UCSF Executive Vice Chancellor Eugene Washington in the spring of 2006 to coordinate the many existing partnerships between UCSF-affiliated individuals/groups and San Francisco-based community organizations and support new partnerships. Their mission is to build collaborative relationships between UCSF and the community, promoting civic engagement, fostering community health and well being and enhancing the environment for education, research, employment and patient care at UCSF. The UCPP serves as a bridge between UCSF and the community, emphasizing partnerships that value and respect the assets and diversity of both.
