Collaboratory

Collaboratory is an online, publicly searchable, relational database that captures how DePaul faculty, staff and students are connected to the community through course-based engagement, student volunteering, community involved research, and other types of community engaged outreach and public service. This database allows the institution to understand the full extent to which we are accomplishing goals related to our work in and with the Chicago community and beyond.

With Collaboratory, faculty and staff have a place to tell their stories about how the institution is connected to schools, organizations, neighborhoods, populations and resources in Collaboratory enables the institution to be more coordinated, strategic and efficient in our engagement with community partners to address society's most pressing issues.
