This issue of UWYO contains a couple of stories I’d like to call your attention to. One is not a story in the traditional sense. Our photographers, Ted Brummond and Trice Megginson, worked over the course of a week to capture images that show what happens at the University of Wyoming in one representative 24-hour period.
Most everyone who has spent time on the UW campus will recognize the swarm of students pouring from the Classroom Building after a morning class or the evening workout at Half Acre Gym. But you may not have seen some of the other images we chased around the clock to get—preparations to feed hungry fans at a Cowgirls’ basketball game against Kansas State (the Cowgirls won), worship at the Islamic Center just off campus, and overnight operations at the university’s Central Energy plant. View the 24 hours at UW.
The other is a look at kind of research that UW students can do at the undergraduate level. Every spring, UW, which ranks among the national research universities, presents Research Day, a chance for students across campus to showcase the kind of work they do pursing their studies. In 2007, Dan Eakin gave a presentation on an analysis of an oceanographic front off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula using seismic reflection profiling. Dan broke new ground in a particularly impressive way. Steve Holbrook, his faculty adviser, has never engaged an undergraduate to analyze the data in the lab that he uses in his own research. Steve says his gamble paid off for him and for Dan. You can read more about it in Explorations.
This year, Undergraduate Research Day is Saturday, April 28.
This marks the final issue that Paula Wilson-Caziér served as art director. Wilson-Caziér has been with UWYO magazine since the first issue. She has shaped its award-winning look and has brought insightful stories to our readers over the years. We’ll miss her, even as we wish her well in her continuing service to the university with the Graduate School.
On a final note, I want to honor the work of this magazine staff. Recently at the Wyoming Press Association, the staff won awards for stories, photographs, and top honors, for the entire publication. Milton Ontiveroz, Jim Kearns, Paula Wilson-Caziér and Trice Megginson were singled out for their work in writing and in photography.
I hope you enjoy reading UWYO magazine as much as we enjoy bringing it to you.
