40th Anniversary Reunion

 

Get ready for an unforgettable celebration! The University of Wyoming’s Summer High School Institute (HSI) is turning 40, and we’re inviting you to join in the excitement. Since the summer of 1985, HSI has been bringing incoming high school juniors from across Wyoming to get a taste of college life at UW by living in the dorms and taking college-like courses. Scholars have participated in a large variety of STEM and humanities courses over the years. While attending HSI, students also experienced many unforgettable adventures in and outside of Laramie creating everlasting memories. 
 
To celebrate HSI going on four decades, we’re hosting a 40th Anniversary Reunion, happening July 18-20, 2025, in Laramie, Wyoming. The weekend will be packed with special events, starting Friday evening and wrapping up Sunday morning.
 
For your convenience, we’ve reserved hotel blocks at the AmericInn, Holiday Inn, and Hilton Garden.
 
Grab your HSI memory books (and memories), your photos, and get ready for a fun celebration weekend with HSI! We're excited to see you!
