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 Guardian cited a UW study for an article, titled “Fear that Johnson & Johnson pause could heighten vaccine hesitancy in U.S.” The study by UW economists found that, in Wyoming, a distrust of the Biden administration and the Food and Drug Administration were major reasons people cited for waiting to be vaccinated.
UW is preparing to ease some COVID-19 requirements but maintain others this summer as it transitions to a traditional fall 2021 semester. The Casper Star-Tribune (CS-T), The Wyoming Tribune Eagle, Laramie Live and Wyoming News Now published UW’s release noting that masks will no longer be required outdoors on campus early next month. Employees who are fully vaccinated will be allowed to travel with no requirement for COVID-19 testing.

An experienced educator and administrator who has held multiple academic dean positions at other institutions has been selected to lead the University of Wyoming’s College of Education.
Scott Thomas, most recently the dean of the University of Vermont’s College of Education and Social Services, will be UW’s first John P. “Jack” Ellbogen Dean of the College of Education. The appointment, effective July 1, was approved today (Wednesday) by the UW Board of Trustees.
“We’re excited that an administrator and scholar of Dr. Thomas’ stature and experience has agreed to lead a very important academic college at UW,” says UW Interim Provost Anne Alexander. “We had a strong group of candidates for this position, and it’s great to see that the university’s first-ever endowed deanship will be filled by such an outstanding individual.”

As we survey our rotting cultural and political landscape, it is tempting, from a worldly perspective, to lose hope for our way of life and our nation. As Christians, we have a greater Hope, one that transcends these worldly problems.
We must always train our focus on Jesus Christ, especially during this holiest of weeks, but let’s not in the meantime abandon our earthly duties our responsibilities to family, friends, country and values.
While we must guard against making politics and patriotism our idols, we don’t have to accept the notion that worshiping God requires neglecting what is true, great and good in our earthly lives. A spiritual war is raging before our eyes, and we must suit up against it unless our lives on this side of eternity are utterly pointless.
