Graduate Education AVP Finalists to Speak This Week

Two finalists for the position of associate vice president for graduate education at the University of Wyoming are scheduled to give public presentations this week.

James Ahern, professor and head of the Department of Anthropology, will speak from 11 a.m.-noon Wednesday, Aug. 9, in Room 138 of the Berry Biodiversity Conservation Center.

All public presentations will be captured using UW’s WyoCast system, which will allow near-real-time viewing as well as archiving for later viewing for those unavailable to attend. Ahern’s presentation may be viewed at https://wyocast.uwyo.edu/WyoCast/Play/8cc19639fb6946fc916efd6297a7aa481d.
