Distinguished Community Engagement Award
The Distinguished Community Engagement Award was created in 2013. Given annually, the award recognizes the important and innovative community-engaged and community-based work by faculty at the University of Washington Tacoma. Such work is based on an ethic of mutual benefit in which both the community partner and/or public and the university, its faculty, and/or its students benefit in ways not possible without the partnership. This work may be short or long term and may be with a single or multiple partners, and should have been active within the past three years. It may be focused on teaching and learning, research, policy, citizenship building, creative work, or community building.
Food Insecurity Student Fellowship
The UWT Office of Community Partnerships is pleased to announce Food Insecurity Student Fellowships. The fellowships will provide students with funding and the opportunity to develop leadership skills in addressing the sociocultural systems of food insecurity at UWT and Pierce County. You will work with Dr. Christine Stevens in the School of Nursing & Healthcare Leadership as your mentor on yearlong projects. You will receive training in research, civic discourse, and policy advocacy and have the opportunity to present your UWT projects to other students, legislators, and stakeholders.
Gift of Service Award
The award, given to a UW Tacoma graduating student, provides an opportunity to give to the community through philanthropy. The student will select a University of Washington Tacoma approved non-religious charity for a one-time award. In addition, the student will receive an award equivalent to the philanthropic gift.
Student Civic Leadership Awards
As a Washington Campus Compact member institution, we have the opportunity to recognize and award two of our student civic leaders. The Chancellor's Student Civic Leader Award recognizes students throughout Washington Campus Compact member institutions that are addressing critical issues on their campuses and in their communities through service and social entrepreneurship.
