Meet Breanna

It’s hard to believe that school has already being making way into its fourth week. The school year is already going by extremely fast, I don’t understand. Before I know it, I will be graduating from CWC and moving my life onto bigger and better things. It will definitely be a strange experience going from small town Riverton to a big university in Laramie, especially since I am use to the small school atmosphere.

I really expected this year to be hard for me, but surprisingly it is not as hard as I expected. Thirty credit hours seem like a lot, but so far, all my classes have been a breeze. I should be careful about what I say because soon school is going to become very hard. Overall, I have been really enjoying my classes and I hope it stays this way because I have a feeling I am going to do well in school. The only class that I am unsure about is Art History. I have never been good at art so this will be an interesting experience trying to understand the history of art. My favorite class, without a doubt, is stock horse. Out of all my classes I feel like I am getting the most out of this class in particular.

Student Senate, Chloe Skaggs “Words of Welcome” during Convocation Sept 9, 2010

On behalf of Central Wyoming College Student Senate I would like to welcome you as fellow students and friends. To quote Spanish artist Salvador Dali, “Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.” I believe that pursuing higher education is a choice; a choice we are celebrating today. By attending Central Wyoming College we have all displayed ambitions of attaining more knowledge and gaining life experience. Choosing this path of greater knowledge and understanding you are now able to decide what you want from your education. Getting to know faculty and staff at Central Wyoming College is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Your professors can serve as a lifeline when struggling with homework or coping with other non-related issues. Be sure to take advantage of small class sizes at C.W.C. by speaking up and asking questions; things not always easy at a larger college or university. It is sometimes easy to forget why you are here, why you go to classes day after day, but remember xit’s because you want to be here – because you have chosen to be here. Don’t cut yourself short by skipping classes or not doing your homework, those things are a privilege and should be seen as such.

If I could say this a million times in the next two minutes I would, get involved with campus activities! Being involved with activities on campus will open so many doors for you. Discover new interests, like white water rafting, say…this Saturday? You can sign up in the Activities office. Run for Student Senate and be a voice for others, you can pick up an application at the Information fair immediately following this ceremony. Go to Wednesday Night Movie Night and meet new, lifelong friends. Or how about the Howdy Dance tonight at 8? You may just meet the love of your life! Ok, or you might just have a good time. What I’m ultimately trying to say is that there’s a little bit of something for everyone when it comes to campus activities. Activities are just one more way to find yourself at Central Wyoming College.

This year at C.W.C. we all have a very special opportunity. We have the chance to create change on campus; I like to think of it as writing history.

As many of you may or may not know, Central Wyoming College is going to the polls this November. We are asking Fremont County if now is the time to build what will be the newest addition to Central Wyoming College campus. I am speaking of the Health and Science Center. You may be sitting in your seats asking yourselves, “What does this building have to do with me?” The answer, “Everything!” Central Wyoming College wants to build this structure in order to accommodate more students in required general science labs, more nurses in to our incredibly well known and highly regarded nursing program. I would personally like to ask you for your vote for the bond this November that will change Central Wyoming College in a very big, very positive way. Not a registered voter, don’t sweat it! You can register to vote at the information fair. You can also show your support for the Health and Scicence Center by joining our student group on Facebook.

I honestly believe that this year has the potential to be the best year of your life. Run with it! Get involved, get active, and go to class. Attending Central Wyoming College is an opportunity for you to discover yourself and unlock your potential. Please join us for the rest of the days’ activities, free food and lots of amazing games. Let’s have fun…today and every other day.

CWC!!

2010 Fall semester has begun

Now that we are in our second week of classes, things are settling down as students and staff get into their routines.  We’ve done some serious slacking over the summer on this blog!  Nothing has been posted since May! All that is about to change now that we have been energized by the GREAT convocation ceremony yesterday. 

If you didn’t attend, you missed a real good time!  Students and staff were treated to Words of Welcome from CWC’s president, Jo Anne McFarland, along with our new Vice President, Jason S. Wood, Faculty Association president, Jane Warren, and Student Senate president, Chloe Skaggs. 

Following the Words of Welcome two long time CWC professors received the honor of Professor Emeritus.  Professor Margaret Peart joined the CWC faculty in 1970 part-time.  She became a full-time instructor in 1982 and continued teaching until she retired in 2009.  Professor Rob Richards left his accounting firm to teach at CWC full-time in 1986; he retired in 2009.  Professors Peart and Richards join 20 others in CWC’s four decade history to receive the Professor Emeritus distinction.

Afterwards, Keynote speaker Michael Johnson, former university professor & author of eight books, shared a unique blend of academic and real-life experiences.  A free BBQ along with games were offered on the Quad at noon.  Many clubs and outside organizations provided information for students new to CWC during the afternoon activities.  At two o’clock students and staff were treated to a Social Powwow.  An Honor Dance took place for our new Vice-President, Jason S. Wood.  If you would like to watch the ceremony, check it out on our CWCRustlerTV channel on Youtube.

See you around campus!
