The University of Wyoming Board of Trustees will hold its annual off-campus meeting
Tuesday-Wednesday, July 14-15, at the historic Evanston Roundhouse in the Uinta County
seat.
The meeting will be the first for new UW President Shane Reeves, who is scheduled
to address the board at 9 a.m. Tuesday.
On Wednesday, Trustees are expected to vote on the new president’s cabinet and executive
vice president leadership structure and organization.
Among other issues scheduled to come before the board during the two-day meeting are
annual UW Foundation fundraising priorities; the future of UW intercollegiate athletics;
and fraternity and sorority life.
A preliminary report from UW’s Budget Footnote Working Group also is on the agenda.
At 1 p.m. Tuesday, Chris Lowrance, deputy head of the Department of Electrical Engineering
and Computer Science at the U.S. Military Academy, is scheduled to speak with the
trustees about artificial intelligence in higher education.
A session with state legislators is set for 3:30-5 p.m. Tuesday.
The board will accept public testimony on any topics at approximately 2:30 p.m. Wednesday.
To close the meeting Wednesday, trustees will participate in a tour of the Evanston
Roundhouse and Machine Shop, more-than-century-old structures that have been restored
over the past several decades through a major community effort.
