The District Residency Connections Fair (DRCF) began in the fall of 2022 under the leadership of Elizabeth McMahan. Through collaboration with the Wyoming School-University Partnership and the College of Education, the inaugural DRCF was a huge success and has become a staple Partnership initiative. Now in its fourth year, the DRCF continues to connect education students with public school districts and education organizations earlier in their teacher preparation program.
