Community Impact Programs & Highlights

Community Change Team members in each impact area of Health, Education and Financial Stability reviewed all applications submitted for Stage One of UWSC's Community Impact Strategy process. The 37 applications were assessed for the applying program's alignment with one of UWSC's Impact Area Goals and the ability to have significant impact on the lives of the program participants. Members reached a consensus, recommending which programs will be invited to apply for Stage Two of the process. All applicants received notification of their program's status by March 31, 2017.
