Engaging Our Community

In January, WSU received the esteemed 2015 Community Engagement Classification from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The distinction is an acknowledgement of WSU’s longstanding commitment to the greater Ogden community, the region, the state and the world, as well as its dedication to teaching students through community-engaged learning. 

The foundation selects schools that model an “excellent alignment among mission, culture, leadership, resources, and practices that support significant commitment to and demonstration of community engagement,” according to Carnegie President Anthony Bryk. 

Only 361 of the more than 3,000 colleges and universities in the United States earn the designation.
