This marks the fourth named deanship in the university’s history and represents a milestone in UW’s pursuit of academic excellence, industry partnership and regional impact. Support for the gift was provided, in part, by state matching funds.

The endowment supports the college's leadership and strategic direction to invest in high-impact teaching, research and community programs that elevate agriculture as a driver of innovation in Wyoming and the Mountain West.

UW Announces Stewart Family Professorship in Public Service

A gift establishes the Stewart Family Professorship, specifically to advance public service work for students and faculty at UW.

The professorship is funded by the Stewart family in honor of their late parents, Clyde and Jerrine Stewart, of Sheridan, who served as daily examples of people immersed in family, community and work. The couple helped address community needs and real-world challenges. Through this newly named professorship, the Stewarts’ legacy of public service will continue.

Jean Garrison, international studies and political science and director of the Malcolm Wallop Civic Engagement Program at UW, has been named the first Stewart Family Professor in Public Service.
