The President of the University of Wyoming Tuesday announced a proposal to transform the University’s offerings to propel new and ongoing initiatives and deal with budget cuts in an effort to better serve the state.
The plan from Ed Seidel’s administration would reconfigure UW’s colleges, discontinue or reorganize some academic programs and build on UW’s existing Tier-1 Engineering, Science and Trustees Education initiatives.
The proposal to be considered during the UW Trustees meeting in Torrington this week would also advance the new Wyoming Innovation Partnership, launch a School of Computing, a Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, and a Wyoming Outdoor Recreation, Tourism and Hospitality Initiative.
In a news release, Seidel says the world, Wyoming and higher education are in the midst of major changes, and UW must respond to enhance the student experience and train them for success, to become a better engine for innovation and economic development, and to develop new revenue streams.
Additional details can be found on the UW website.
