District Residency Connections Fair

District Resideny Connections Fair Logo.Every year in October, the Wyoming School-University Partnership, hosts the District Residency Connections Fair in collaboration with University of Wyoming College of Education, School of Teacher Education, and the College of Education Student Success Center.

The fair is designed to connect College of Education students with Wyoming school district leaders and education organization personnel in an effort to engage them in thinking about where they would like to do their student teaching residency in the future.

This year saw an expansion of the fair with two days of programming and two fair sessions. We had a total of 97 College of Education students attend and connect with our district partners.

To learn more please reach out to Elizabeth McMahan or Nicholas Jesse.
