This article introduces the special topic issue "Educational and Psychological Consultation within Community-University Partnerships." The special issue provides a forum for scholars and readers to consider consultation as a powerful and practical tool that can be used in community-university partnerships (CUPs). In this article, we will introduce the concept of CUPs and situate them in the broader movement toward universities engaging communities for mutual benefit and the common good. Then, we will preview the collection of articles found in this special issue. Together, the contributions of these scholars provide concrete examples and conceptual models that other faculty can use in their own practice as scholars, educators, and citizens.
