Utah Valley University was pleased to host the Utah Women and Education Project (UWEP) during the academic years of 2009-2011. The purpose of the two-year project was to lead efforts within the state to understand and then motivate more young women to enter and stay in school long enough to obtain college degrees. To effectively move forward in any type of change intervention, thorough research had to be conducted to understand these complex issues within the lives of young women and within their families, schools, and communities. This project was focused on conducting research, disseminating findings, initiating dialogue, providing resources, and leading change. The project has now ended, but efforts are continuing through the initiatives outlined below.
The Women's College Task Force received unanimous support of its top ten recommendations by the Governor's Education Excellence Commission on February 21, 2012. See above link for full report.– Women’s College Task Force (link coming soon)
