President's Impact Fund

During UW’s 2024 Giving Day, I invite you to join me in making a contribution to the President’s Impact Fund to support our greatest resource—our students. 

This year, we’re focusing on two special causes: Hands-on Learning and Freedom of Expression.  

Think back to the most impactful academic experiences you’ve had. Chances are, they involved some form of hands-on learning. At the University of Wyoming, we know that hands-on learning opportunities—whether through internships, study abroad, or service learning—empower students to engage actively with academic concepts and apply them in real-world scenarios. Research shows that students who participate in these activities achieve higher levels of academic and professional success.

At the University of Wyoming, we take pride in our roots in the "Equality State" and our ongoing commitment to building a community where everyone feels welcome and has the same opportunities to learn and grow. As Wyoming's flagship land-grant institution, we believe in the power of open dialogue, rigorous inquiry, and academic freedom to create an environment where ideas flourish. Our dedication to these values not only fuels innovation and discovery but also prepares students for success in careers where they will be expected to engage in respectful dialogue and collaboration with people who hold different perspectives. Together, we’re carrying forward UW's mission to make a positive impact and share knowledge that serves the greater good. 

So, this Giving Day, your contributions to the President’s Impact Fund will help create valuable opportunities for our Cowboys and Cowgirls to gain the skills and experiences needed to thrive today and in the future.
