Who we are

Our program has seen a number of developments in recent months. Our most noteworthy evolution is the launch of the University of Wyoming’s new Biodiversity Institute, part of the Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources. We are excited to embrace this organization, which will build on accomplishments of the Ruckelshaus Institute and the continued growth of our academic programs.

In recognition of our developing programs, we have a new organizational structure, which reflects the close connections among our academic, scholarly, and outreach activities, collected now under the umbrella of a "school"--the Haub School--the organizational construct for universities with a strong investment in interdisciplinary programs that cross traditional college and departmental lines.

To help us communicate this structure, we are launching a new logo and color scheme. Our new look, which we’ve spent several months designing, will help our partners and constituents recognize our work and enhance the look of the important reports, conference proceedings, presentations, and other materials we produce. The image of a road winding toward the mountains is reminiscent of our past mountain logo, while noting human presence in the landscape. The three colors correspond to the three components of the Haub School: academic programs, Ruckelshaus Institute, and our new Biodiversity Institute.
