The University of Wyoming is a member institution of Campus Compact, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing civic and community engagement in higher education.

Campus Compact currently is accepting applications for the Impact Awards, which honor outstanding contributions to civic and community engagement. These awards recognize individuals and programs that exemplify meaningful impact within their communities.

Seven distinct award categories acknowledge the achievements of students, faculty, community engagement professionals and presidents, as well as specific civic and community engagement initiatives, programs and partnerships.

Applications are due by Friday, Oct. 31.

The UW Office of Community Engagement encourages individuals to apply, showcasing efforts to build and strengthen partnerships between UW and communities.

The Office of Community Engagement will host two Zoom “office hours” to answer questions from prospective UW applicants: Wednesday, Oct. 22, from 2-3 p.m.; and Thursday, Oct. 23, from 9-10 a.m. Email engage@uwyo.edu for the Zoom link.
