The Malcolm Wallop Civic Engagement Program in the School of Politics, Public Affairs,
and International Studies at the University of Wyoming works in conjunction with university,
community college and K-12 partners to host projects and meaningful dialogue on local,
state, national, and international issues of significant interest to Wyoming students
and communities.
The Wallop Civic Engagement Program offers an opportunity to build upon the legacy
of Senator Malcolm Wallop’s distinguished career as a public servant, as well as the
generosity of his friends and supporters, who have helped to honor him by supporting
this initiative. Senator Wallop’s life was about conversations around ideas, and
the Wallop Civic Engagement Program credits that legacy by providing a platform for
those making the effort to learn and champion their beliefs. You can learn more about
Senator Wallop at this link. (opens in a new window)
We embrace UW’s land-grant mission by committing to a partnership with Wyoming communities
and educators around the state. We work together as an intellectual community to foster
excellence in teaching, scholarship, innovation and creative endeavor—to engage in
matters of public concern and to provide students with experiences that prepare them
to meet tomorrow’s challenges with sustainable solutions.
A successful effort to diversify and grow Wyoming’s economy, address workforce development
and retention, and to leverage educational/training programs to retain our talent
and promote community resilience starts by gathering the right data. Over 2024-2025,
we will be partnering with K-12 teachers through our Profiles in Wyoming Resilience
Research Project, to gather and map youth voices about opportunities and barriers
they see to education, employment, and community resilience.
