State, national and international media frequently feature the University of Wyoming
and members of its community in stories. Here is a summary of some of the recent coverage:
The UW College of Business’s reaccreditation by AACSB International, the Association
to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, was highlighted by Wyoming News Now. Fewer than 6 percent of business schools worldwide hold AACSB accreditation.
In an article in the journal Science about the decline of birds in tropical forests, UW Associate Professor Corey Tarwater
notes the significant drop in dozens of species of birds in Panama’s Soberania National

in UW’s College of Business, was quoted in a Your Wyoming Link article about Wells Fargo Bank’s decision to store precious metals in a Casper facility.
UW’s release about a UW-led project to improve Wyoming highway safety stimulated additional
coverage on Wyoming News Now. The pilot project, which also involves Range and the Wyoming Department of Transportation,
will deploy Distributed Acoustic Sensing in tandem with artificial intelligence-based
computer vision to monitor a section of U.S. Highway 85 just north of Cheyenne.
UW Extension entomologist Scott Schell is quoted in a Cowboy State Daily article about insects in Wyoming. While the state’s arid climate means there’s less
insect diversity here, it would be a mistake to conclude that Wyoming is significantly
less “buggy” than other locations, he says.
The “Re-Storying the West” project led by Nancy Small, an associate professor in UW’s
Department of English, was highlighted by the Mellon Foundation, which provided funding for the effort.
