STEM highlighted in UW Bothell’s national community engagement honor 

UW Bothell’s community partnerships in action: With Kirkland’s Finn Hill Neighborhood Alliance, faculty and staff from UW Bothell developed educational signage about salmon and geocaching tours for parkgoers.

Earlier this month, UW Bothell was once again announced as a Carnegie Community Engagement Classified campus! First awarded to the University from 2020-2025, the new reclassification runs through 2031.

This honor, awarded by the American Council on Education (ACE) and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, highlights UW Bothell’s commitment to community engagement.

Building student connections, collaborating on research, and engaging with campus and community are only a handful of ways UW Bothell prioritizes this commitment.

The School of STEM continues this pursuit, bringing the campus community together by supporting student capstone projects, partnering with industry to provide scholarships and internships, facilitating new research opportunities, providing insight from industry speakers in the GROW INTO STEM seminar series, teaching in the community, coordinating class projects and so much more.

“I know how much time and care STEM faculty and staff invest in engaging with our community,” says School of STEM Dean Jennifer McLoud-Mann. “Their efforts play a vital role in ensuring UW Bothell receives this recognition, and I want to extend my sincere thanks for everything they do.”
