Office of Engagement and Community Affairs & the Community Engagement Centers
The University’s Office of Engagement and Community Affairs (ECA) is a central hub for Pitt’s community partnerships and engagement efforts, making it easier for communities, public leaders, faculty, staff, and students to forge effective collaborations. The University’s Community Engagement Centers (CECs) in Homewood and the Hill District ground Pitt’s neighborhood commitments in the heart of these communities. To learn more about our CECs, and to discuss project ideas and partnership opportunities, please reach out to our staff at the CEC in Homewood or the CEC in the Hill District.
