State, national and international media frequently feature the University of Wyoming and members of its community in stories. Here is a summary of some of the recent coverage:
The Wyoming Tribune Eagle republished an article that quoted a number of experts on whether Wyoming residents will get the COVID-19 vaccine. Discussing the economic side, UW economist Rob Godby said it is possible that the longer people resist being vaccinated, the longer the pandemic will last -- and the greater the economic fallout will be.
UW and the state’s seven community colleges are launching a collaborative effort to better prepare Wyoming students for the state’s evolving economy and encourage entrepreneurship. Wyoming Public Radio, Cowboy State Daily, Oil City News, Wyoming News Now, The Casper Star-Tribune (CS-T) and KFBC Radio reported that Gov. Mark Gordon and UW President Ed Seidel announced the Wyoming Innovation Network, a joint effort by all of the schools to focus more on Wyoming’s economic needs. SweetwaterNOW published UW’s release on the initiative.
