Faculty, Adjunct Faculty, and Program Administrators

The School of Energy Resources (SER) operates under a distinctive interdisciplinary model. Faculty affiliated with SER hold primary appointments in academic departments across the University of Wyoming, fostering collaboration in recruiting and retaining experts whose teaching, research, and service align with the state’s energy priorities. Adjunct faculty from diverse disciplines further enhance SER’s mission by contributing energy-focused instruction and research expertise.

 

In addition to its faculty, SER is supported by dedicated programmatic administrators who oversee the Energy Resource Management and Development (ERMD) concentrations and the SER Mentorship Program. These leaders provide students with personalized academic guidance and direct connections to industry, enriching their educational experience and professional development.
