Measuring Impact
As economic demand shifts, expectations of higher education do as well. WSU is involved with a Association of Public Land-Grant Universities committee that is dedicated to helping university leaders plan, assess and communicate their institutions’ work in local and regional economic development. The committee has developed several tools for this purpose, including the Economic Engagement Framework.
