Survey Seeks Statewide Engagement Details

A report released in 2014 quantified the statewide economic footprint of the University of Wyoming, including details of the wide variety of university activity around Wyoming.

In updating the report this year, authors are asking UW faculty and staff members to provide information about their statewide engagement efforts. A survey tool has been designed to make it easy for faculty and staff members to share that information. Access the survey at www.keysurvey.com/votingmodule/s180/f/711815/943d/.

“We invite everyone to fill out the survey and tell us about their activities,” says Anne Alexander, associate dean of outreach for statewide engagement. “This information will be used to construct a dynamic map that will inform our stakeholders about the many activities we participate in statewide.”

Responses are due by March 31, though the survey will remain open after that for updates as additional activities take place.

The 2014 “Economic Footprint of the University of Wyoming” report is available at www.uwyo.edu/research/_files/docs/uw-economic-footprint-2014.pdf. In addition to an analysis of UW’s economic impact, the report details UW’s presence around Wyoming, including: providing courses and degrees for those who can’t come to Laramie; research that advances fundamental understanding and practical solutions for business, industry and government; service to professional and community organizations; information and advice to policy makers; cultural performances and exhibitions; academic programs, workshops and seminars; and access to legal services, health services and library databases.
