Governor Mark Gordon has signed legislation authorizing the separation of Gillette College from the Northern Wyoming Community College District, but the district’s most important role right now, according to College District President Dr. Walt Tribley, is to make sure the district is ready to go with fall classes there.
Dr. Tribley provided an update on efforts to separate Gillette College from the Northern Wyoming Community College District at the district board meeting earlier this week. Governor Gordon signed the Senate bill into law on April 6, opening the way for the Campbell County clerk to officially call an election that will place the question of a separate Gillette College before Campbell County voters.
