School of Energy Resources to Celebrate Seventh Year of Energy Day with UW Football

The University of Wyoming’s School of Energy Resources has joined with Learfield Sports to sponsor Energy Day Saturday, Sept. 28, at the UW football game vs. the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.

Before the 6 p.m. game, members of the public are invited to visit with energy vendors from around the state at booths in the Indoor Practice Facility. The School of Energy Resources (SER) also will have a booth. There will be free giveaways, interactive energy activities, cornhole games and information on SER’s Summer Energy Institute program.

Leading up to the game, the UW Energy Alumni Association will host a tailgate party bus at Spot 48 in Tailgate Park. The College of Engineering and Applied Science will host tailgate party at Spot 49.
