Office of Community Development
Bill Cook
Executive Director, Office of Community Development
The Office of Community Development focuses on anchor-mission initiatives for the university and acts as a catalyst for convening anchor institutions to create civic action plans. The first civic action plan, which began in February 2016, is the Ogden Civic Action Network (OgdenCAN). Seven anchor institutions are combining their resources to strengthen a 10-by-10 block area of Ogden known as the east-central neighborhood. The seven anchors along with six partner organizations serve as the 13-member board of directors. The focus is on addressing the deeply-rooted poverty in this neighborhood through interventions pertaining to health, education and housing.
