Communication

Center for Strategic Communications

The Center for Strategic Communications (CSC) focuses on public advocacy that advances the university’s mission to empower leaders for a just and humane world.

Our projects empower the university and larger community to work together on social justice issues.  

The Center functions as a laboratory for Strategic Communications and other majors to practice their craft in service to nonprofit community organizations. Through our projects, the Center has developed a reputation as a trusted partner to many service providers and other stakeholders in the community.   

The Center is part of the Seattle University Communication Department.  

Our Work:

Project on Family Homelessness

Seattle Vehicle Residency Research Program

The goals of the Seattle Vehicle Residency Research Program are to develop and utilize population/demographic data collection methods to improve public understanding of people who use public space to live within vehicle-homes.
