UCSF Community & Governmental Relations works with our neighbors to develop creative, mutually beneficial solutions that address the inherently complex relationship between UCSF and our wonderfully diverse city.

The mission of Community Relations is to form community partnerships and communicate campus plans and activities in a proactive and forthright manner, as well as to present community feedback to campus decision makers.

The mission of Governmental Relations is to assist the University in obtaining adequate public funding and to advocate for public policy that supports the University's teaching, patient care, research, and public service programs.

Community & Governmental Relations is a department within UCSF University Advancement and Planning, which is led by Vice Chancellor Bruce W. Spaulding.
