The University of Wyoming Alumni Association (UWAA) has announced a new mountain design for UW license plates, which are Wyoming specialty plates. Wyoming law requires the license plate design change every eight years, with the new version readily distinguishable from the previous one.
The new license plate design represents the beauty of Wyoming’s iconic mountain ranges, featuring a silhouette similar to that in the end zones of Jonah Field at War Memorial Stadium.
In April, thousands of UW alumni and current UW plate owners voted for their favorite design.
The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust has granted nearly $1.6 million to the University of Wyoming College of Health Sciences to train Wyoming health care professionals on state-of-the-art ultrasound equipment as part of a statewide ultrasound initiative.
The initiative includes nearly $13.9 million to help Wyoming hospitals and health centers purchase ultrasound imaging devices and boost sonography and point-of-care ultrasound training opportunities across the state. UW’s Wyoming Point-of-Care Ultrasound Training Initiative (WY-POCUTI) both broadens the scope of training in specialty ultrasound and bolsters access to and the quality of point-of-care ultrasound services.
Two major gifts totaling $4 million from philanthropist couple Ann Pickard and Dan Smith to the University of Wyoming will support literacy across the state and first-generation students.
The first, a planned gift of $2 million, supports the endowment Nathan’s Gift -- A Literacy and Special Education Excellence Fund. The fund was established in 2018 to honor Pickard and Smith’s son, Nathan. The second, also a planned gift of $2 million, supports the endowment Ann Pickard and Dan Smith President’s Endowed Scholarship for First-Generation Students. This fund was established in 2019 to honor Pickard and Smith’s journey as first-generation students themselves.
