Community-University Partnerships (CUP) is a program designed to leverage university resources to advance the over-all quality of life and health in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. CUP addresses the third goal of the CSUSB Strategic Plan, which focuses on adopting a long-term strategy for university engagement in community partnerships.

CUP supports the formation of new community-university partnerships. CUP also directs a Service Learning Fellowship Program, maintains a directory of current partnerships and service learning opportunities, and provides assistance for community-based research projects.
