Media Information
Washington University in St. Louis is an ideal partner and host for CGI U. Washington University is distinctive in its commitment to public service and global engagement, offering robust and multi-disciplinary opportunities to its students to learn and act, including international research collaborations focused on many of CGI’s priority areas. Why did CGI U come to WUSTL this year? Here’s why.
Community service is part of the fabric of a WUSTL education and CGI U is shining a spotlight on our efforts. Approximately 200 of the more than 1,000 students participating this weekend are WUSTL students, working on projects locally, regionally and internationally.
