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:
A research team that included UW Professor Mark Clementz found that volcanic eruptions
in the Andes resulted in global cooling millions of years ago. The research was highlighted
by media outlets including earth.com, Eurasia Review and Bioengineer.org.
Another media outlet interviewed incoming UW President Shane Reeves. He told KGAB Radio he’s working on “building a team” to lead the university and is looking forward to
going around the state meeting Wyoming residents.
Scott Beaulier, UW’s H.A. “Dave” True Family Dean of the College of Business, is quoted
in a Forbes article about consumer buying habits. He says stagnant corporate earnings are more
about consumer selectivity than spending restraint.
The fact that candidates for Wyoming’s lone U.S. House seat are taking out personal
loans to help finance their campaigns is an indication that the race will be expensive
and competitive, UW Assistant Professor Ryan Williams told the Wyoming Tribune Eagle.
WyoFile and the Gillette News Record covered the Emerging Issue Forum hosted by UW’s School of Energy Resources and Haub
School of Environment and Natural Resources last week.
A mild winter will likely help Wyoming’s big game herds but, if drought conditions
persist, it could be difficult for those animals to find forage, UW researcher Kevin
Monteith told WyoFile.
Monteith is quoted in another WyoFile article about proposed changes in hunting regulations for the Wyoming Range and Sublette
mule deer herds, noting that the populations are poised to continuing growing following
the devastating winter of 2022-23.
An article in the newsletter of The Wildlife Society notes that UW students attended the recent legislative session for “Camo at the Capitol.”
The students joined other members of the Wyoming Chapter of The Wildlife Society and
partners to learn how to engage with policy and policymakers.
Wyoming News Now published UW’s release about Laramie being ranked No. 4 on RentCafe’s 2026 “Best
College Towns” list.
A feature on UW outdoor recreation and tourism management student Diego Lobatos, of Lander, was picked up by County10 and the Wyoming Tribune Eagle.
