Sponsor Spotlight: Washington University in St. Louis

Thank you so much to WashU for being a Repurpose level sponsor and electric shuttle provider for our 2024 Festival!

At WashU, we’re proud of our global reach as an educational and research institution. But we’re equally proud to be a partner in our hometown of St. Louis.
WashU’s “In St. Louis, For St. Louis” initiative is an institution-wide commitment that draws upon our strength as an economic anchor, our role as a global talent magnet, and the power of our mission of research, education, and patient care to create real, lasting impact and opportunity in St. Louis and beyond.
We are strengthening our partnerships within our community to forge a new way forward, by listening to, learning from, and collaborating with local institutions to improve the quality of life for all people in the St. Louis region.
We invite you to join our efforts, whether by exploring the strategic networks we’ve already developed or by building new bridges between your organization and ours. Click the button to learn more!
