COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROFILE:
JENNY INGWERSON-NIEMANN
Jennifer (Jenny) Ingwerson-Niemann is an Equine lecturer in the Department of Animal Science at the University of Wyoming. She has a passion for connecting her UW students with hands-on service-learning opportunities with local community partners in the equine industry.
In 2023-24, Jenny completed the UW Community Engaged Faculty Institute. In fall 2024, she applied her learning by redesigning a capstone course (ANSC 4250) for students who want to pursue a career in the equine industry with a focus on equine management. Students completed service-learning projects with community partners including reflection and presentations.
Community partners included veterinary clinics (Alpine Animal Hospital in Laramie and Sturgis Veterinary Hospital and Equine Center in South Dakota), the Center for Racehorse Retraining in Chugwater, Rodeo Ranch in Cheyenne, Rocky Mountain HorseDream in Laramie, and the Cliff and Martha Hansen Teaching Arena.
Thank you, Jenny, for your commitment to community-engaged education!
The University of Wyoming’s commitment to community engagement has earned recognition from the Carnegie Foundation. In 2024, UW received the Carnegie Elective Classification for Community Engagement, acknowledging the institution's extensive outreach efforts throughout the state. Universities receive this designation only following a rigorous evaluation and documentation of their community engagement endeavors. This designation serves as a catalyst for the university to further refine its strategic approach to community engagement and expand upon existing initiatives.
