Carlos Gonzales, of Buffalo, is the 2021 winner of the Tobin Memorial Award as the University of Wyoming’s outstanding graduating male.
He recently graduated with a 3.97 grade-point average, majoring in sociology, and gender and women’s studies, with minors in honors, queer studies and statistics.
UW School of Culture, Gender and Social Justice Professor Cathy Connolly has known Gonzales for four years, serving as his adviser.
“I have been waiting years to be able to write this letter, as I have known that Carlos was that extraordinary of a student,” she said.
Assistant Lecturer Alison Harkin concurs that Gonzales is one of those rare students who is not only an analytical thinker and a skilled writer, but also a “truly empathic and creative person.” He brought original observations to in-class discussions and a supportive attitude toward other students and their work.

Abstract
In fall 2019, the University of Wyoming (UW) Libraries launched an information and digital literacy badge and certificate program in partnership with the Ellbogen Center for Teaching and Learning (ECTL), housed in the UW Libraries main branch. ECTL crafts programing and provides support for graduate students, staff, and faculty who teach on our campus by employing instructional designers.
The Information and Digital Badge and Certificate Program was created when ECTL redesigned their Teaching and Learning Certificate, and it features many services and resources that UW Libraries already offers (i.e., information literacy instruction and research consultations). This article will detail the redesign of the certificate program, how the current teaching and learning certificate was designed, and conclude with lessons learned from the first year of the program as well as future goals.

University of Wyoming Libraries recently awarded alternative textbook grants to seven faculty members and a graduate student to implement open educational resources (OER) in their classes this spring.
The alternative textbooks resulting from the grants are projected to save UW students more than $67,000 per semester.
“As the pandemic continues, it’s increasingly important to continue to keep costs low to our students and make materials more digitally accessible,” says Larry Schmidt, chair of Research and Instruction Services at UW Libraries. “What was interesting for this cycle of grant applications was how many applicants returned to continue their work for finalizing open-access projects or creating materials for other courses they teach. It speaks to our faculty’s dedication to saving our students money, but also creating materials that are openly accessible and available for other institutions to utilize in their teaching.”
