Women's Intercultural Engagement Program

As of July 1, 2024, the Women’s Success Center transitioned to the Women’s Intercultural Engagement Program (WIEP) in accordance with Utah House Bill 261.

Under the direction of the new Center for Intercultural Engagement, WIEP will focus on cultural education, celebration, engagement, and awareness to help all students learn with and from one another.

Our Mission

The Women’s Intercultural Engagement Program provides space for all students to engage with one another, celebrate success, receive cultural education, and gain an awareness of the shared lived experiences of women at UVU. We strive to foster a sense of belonging so all students can learn with and from one another.

WIEP works with students to help them find the best approaches to problem solving and connect them with a network of campus and community support.
