UW Awarded Distinguished IEP Designation

The University of Wyoming has achieved official designation as an IEP institution by the Association of Public and Land Grant Universities (APLU). IEP, which stands for Innovation and Economic Prosperity, is a program established in 2013 by APLU as a collaborative institutional strategic planning and transformation program and distinguished recognition. IEP Designation recognizes higher education institutions with a substantial, sustainable, and institution-wide commitment to economic engagement. IEP designees such as UW completed an intensive, introspective, and earnest process of institutional self-study and engagement with internal and external stakeholders to identify the strengths of the institution’s economic engagement enterprise and areas for growth and improvement—all while sharing and learning from peers and experts across North America. Earning the designation is an opportunity for UW to strengthen stakeholder engagement, strengthen indicators of success, inventory work in economic engagement, identify strengths, and areas of growth and improvement. The APLU awarded the designation to UW at the end of September, 2024.
