Alumni leaders are dedicated to fostering connections and giving back to their communities.
“I enjoy attending UW alumni events and became more involved when both my daughters
decided to become Cowboys! We have season football tickets and love the Cowboy Joe
fundraisers. I was a guest conductor of the Western Thunder Marching Band at a home
football game in 2024. I am passionate about being one of the network leaders and
meeting alumni from the 1960s to 2020s. The Colorado Springs network meets for watch
parties, writing notes to incoming freshmen and attending basketball games. I look
forward to growing our local alumni community and never miss an opportunity to talk
about our network when I see other UW Cowboys around town.” – Kelly Robertson

“I am proud to be part of the alumni team here in Arizona! Engaging with our dynamic
community has energized me, and I am honored to serve in the role of local network
leader. The university has provided me with invaluable opportunities, and I am committed
to giving back while maintaining strong connections with my fellow Pokes!” – Mark

“The Cowboy Country Swing Club (CCSC) is run by students with a goal of connecting
to our Laramie community. This goal has allowed us to work with local schools, organizations
and more throughout Wyoming in an effort to spread the love of country swing dancing.
After graduation, I was drawn to continue working with CCSC due to my love of dancing
and a new personal goal to help other CCSC alumni connect across the country. I am
excited to be working with the CCSC alumni network and am looking forward to bringing
our alumni back to UW through annual events like our Cowboy Prom and Tribute to Steamboat.
Go Pokes!” – Lilly Gardner

“As a network leader, I have had the great pleasure to reunite our alum — knowing
they each value the university and want to ensure we have a robust career and technical
education program long into the future. Generations of our CTE teachers have been
trained by faculty at the College of Education. Graduates are in all our communities
helping build a skilled and prepared workforce. Connecting them back to campus has
created a sense of belonging and purpose. Our group members are active and dedicated
to giving back to the institution that started their careers. Seeing the enthusiasm
of our alum makes the work even more impactful.” – Rob Hill
