Office of Community Partnerships

Director:  Priscilla Salant (208) 364-4549; Associate Director:  Darin Saul (208) 885-0124

Through outreach, the University of Idaho serves the state and, at the same time, develops engaged scholarship and student learning opportunities. Outreach adds value to our teaching and research activities by building partnerships with stakeholders in Idaho and beyond. Outreach occurs from every college on UI's Moscow campus, the UI Library, and from each of the University's physical locations around the state. Our outreach infrastructure includes 42 county Extension offices, UI Boise, UI Idaho Falls, UI Coeur d'Alene, multiple research and learning facilities, and the telecommunications infrastructure that bridges physical distance.

The Office of Community Partnerships supports Idaho communities through research and student projects focused on local priorities.  We provide a front door for Idaho communities to access university resources, including UI Extension, the Service-Learning Center, and faculty throughout the university.  Our projects aim to advance innovation and sustainability, build leadership, and create vibrant communities.

We can help your community or organization by:

  • Connecting you with UI Extension and other faculty
  • Developing service-learning, internship, and student volunteer projects
  • Gathering and analyzing information on local trends and characteristics
  • Partnering on grant proposals

Our office in Boise provides a link to state agencies, industry associations, and the university's southern and eastern Idaho regional centers. Our Moscow office links to faculty, students and staff on our main campus, as well as to our northern Idaho regional center.
