UWYO Foundation

The University of Wyoming Foundation is an independent nonprofit corporation dedicated to securing, managing, and stewarding private gifts in support of the University of Wyoming's missions in teaching, research, and public service. Because UW is the state's premier four-year institution of higher education, private support from alumni and friends has never been more important.

Global and Area Studies Director Garrison Wins UW President’s Stewardship Award

Jean GarrisonThe University of Wyoming awarded this year’s President’s Faculty Stewardship Award to Jean Garrison, director of the Global and Area Studies program and professor in the Department of Political Science.

The award recognizes the leadership of a UW faculty member who has excelled in relationship-building and stewardship of alumni and donors through receipt of private gifts, engagement of former students in the activities of UW, and a commitment to strong external relationships to advance the University of Wyoming.

“Jean’s career is an exceptional example of a UW faculty member who consistently goes above and beyond in her work to support the University of Wyoming,” says Ben Blalock, UW Foundation president. “When you truly come to understand fundraising, philanthropy is the result of connections among people. This award recognizes and expresses appreciation to the faculty members who stay connected with their students even following graduation, and who reach out to alumni and friends to continue to engage them in the life of the University of Wyoming. Jean has done this consistently for years and is most deserving of this award.”
