Members of the public will find out more about the University of Wyoming’s presence in Sublette County, and UW alumni will connect with their alma mater during a “UW in Your Community” gathering Tuesday, Sept. 30, in Pinedale.
The public is invited to the event from 5-7 p.m. in the Lovatt Room of the Sublette County Library. Free appetizers will be served, and a cash bar will be available.
UW President Ed Seidel will be in attendance and speak during a brief program, highlighting the university’s collaborative efforts with the state’s community colleges to prepare students for the modern economy and boost entrepreneurism and the state’s economy, among other topics.
Also on the agenda:
- A member of Professor Kevin Monteith’s research team will provide an update on the recovery of the Wyoming Range mule deer herd following the devastating winter of 2022-23.
- Associate Professor Anna Chalfoun, the assistant leader of the Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, will discuss her research regarding songbirds in sagebrush habitats of the Green River Basin.
Also scheduled to speak are current UW students from Sublette County — Pinedale High School graduates Kelsey Cooper, Jacie Friel, and Thomas Murdock, and Big Piney High School graduates Abby Reed and Xavia Sambrano.
The Sublette County gathering is the 21st in a series of “UW in Your Community” gatherings taking place around the state.
“This will be a great opportunity for community members to interact with President Seidel and others from UW, learn about exciting initiatives for students and the state, and see some of the collaborative work UW is doing with local partners,” says Chad Baldwin, UW’s associate vice president for marketing and communications. “UW alumni and everyone across Sublette County are invited for what will be a fun evening.”
