UW Spring Convocation to Focus on R1 Status April 22

University of Wyoming faculty, staff and students are invited to UW’s Spring Convocation Tuesday, April 22, from 3:15-4:30 p.m. in the Wyoming Union ballroom.

The convocation will include opening remarks from President Ed Seidel, refreshments and a panel discussion on UW’s recent achievement of Carnegie R1 status. Panelists will discuss why R1 status is important to them and what they do at UW.

For those who can’t attend in person, the convocation can be viewed via WyoCast or YouTube here.

The president has granted UW employees a maximum of two hours of release time to attend the event. The scheduling of release time should be a collaborative discussion between employee and supervisor to ensure the effective and efficient operation of the unit.

Following the convocation, a celebration is planned in Pokes Pub from 4:30-5:30 p.m.

Guests or members of the public attending the convocation who would like to request disability accommodations are asked to reach out to Megan Levin at mjones53@uwyo.edu.
