COMMUNITY ENGAGED FACULTY INSTITUTE
The Community Engaged Faculty Institute (CEFI) supports a cohort of UW faculty fellows to develop service-learning opportunities for UW students by creating or redesigning a service-learning/community-engaged course.
CEFI is designed to advance UW strategic goals for institutional excellence including rewarding teaching excellence, enhancing student success, and strengthening relationships with community partners.
Nine faculty members from a wide range of disciplines were selected as fellows for the 2023-24 cohort. Fellows participate in six sessions that address various components of successfully developing a service-learning course and present their plans for implementation in May.

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.
