Congratulations Lance!

Central Wyoming College counselor Lance Goede was presented the Outstanding Service Award by the Wyoming Counseling Association at a recent annual conference held in Casper.

Goede, a new member of the Wyoming Mental Health Professionals Licensing Board, serves on the college’s Behavioral Intervention Team.

Goede also coordinates the “Students of Concern” group, which in collaboration with faculty and staff attempts to proactively identify students in need of additional assistance or guidance, and provides them with counseling and/or mental health service.

“We are proud of his accomplishments, service to our students and contributions to CWC,” said Vice President for Student Services Mohammed Waheed.

Goede earned his master’s in counseling from the University of Wyoming and joined the CWC staff first as the housing and student life director. He is also the primary force behind the annual college counselors’ retreat.

Meet Hailey

Hi! I’m currently in my second year at Central Wyoming College working on my General Studies degree. The past few weeks have been a little crazy because I just finished up midterms. It was rough getting through all of the tests, but now that it is over I feel like a big load has been lifted off of my shoulders!
Each year midterms reminds me of how important it is to study for each class as much as possible throughout the semester, not just the night before the big test. Studying frequently for short periods of time allows me to stay on top of all the new information coming my way in each of my different classes. I am also a Resident Assistant in housing this year, which is a lot of fun but also requires an additional time commitment. I picked up a free planner from the CWC mailroom and using it properly to write down important dates, due dates and activities has helped me stay organized.
This week is Halloween Sprit Week at CWC and I am looking forward to dressing up for the different days. Getting involved on campus is a must to make your experience enjoyable! So far this year has gone by fast, I can’t believe it’s almost November! No matter how stressful school and life may become, don’t forget to stop, take a deep breath and count your blessings! =) Have a great winter!

Meet Rachel

After my first week of college I was informed that I had Mono and anything you could think of to go along with it. I was to stay in bed, sleep, eat when I could, sleep, sleep, and then sleep a little more LOL. Being a QL, it seems like it would be obvious for me to say that I'm a work and then play kind of girl, but since that's just who I am, I'll tell you lying in bed involved neither work or play, and as much as the work is never as good as the play, I of course, would rather have been working than lying in that bed. So over the almost three weeks I spent being tired and twittling my thumbs I came to realize how much I appreciate all the work. . Everything worked out so well. I was really thankful, all of my instructors were cooperative and they helped a lot. I got everything completed, now I just have to keep up lol.

This whole experience reminded me as each day, as I got out of bed and returned to my classes, to be thankful and appreciative that I had strength to do just that. I started enjoying my classes more.  Talk about good coming from bad, I've never believed it more. I'm sure this great attitude I've acquired will begin to fade around midterms, but what can I say? Until then, I'll be trying...

No Electronic Services this Saturday

DON'T FORGET!

Central Wyoming College will be without electronic and web services Saturday, Oct. 9 as the state’s core network, administered by the Wyoming Department of Education, is moved.
    All Wyoming Equality Network gear and circuits are being moved to a more secure location, causing an all-day outage to the college’s website, the student portal myCENTRAL, and remote access to CWC’s network. The outage also prevents use of the library card catalog, electronic payments and online testing.

David and Lisa

CWC stages its first production for the 2010-11 season Oct. 6 in the Robert A. Peck Arts Center Theatre at 7:30 p.m. 

Based on the Academy Award-nominated 1962 film of the same name, David and Lisa is the story of two mentally ill adolescent teens who meet at a special school. Myers said the “characters are really fascinating. It really helps you understand being mentally ill,” he explained. “Instead of being peripheral characters, they are the central characters.”

Nightly performances will take place Oct. 6-9 at 7:30pm.  A matinee is also scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 10 at 2:30 p.m.

Tickets for the show are $8 for adults and $6 for senior citizens 60 and over and youth. Tickets can be purchased Monday through Friday, 3-6 p.m. at the Arts Center Box Office. To purchase tickets by phone, call 855-2002 or 800-865-0190 and leave a voice mail. The college can accept credit cards.

More InfoPlease bring your lunch and join us to discuss the book everyone in Fremont County is reading this fall. http://www.fremontcountyreads.blogspot.com/
October 4-8 is CWC’s observance of Domestic Violence Awareness, which is the entire month of October.  The Counseling and Career Services Department is co-sponsoring two events that week that would be very interesting to Criminal Justice, Homeland Security, Human Services, and Psychology majors, and anyone interested in the topic of domestic violence.

For Tuesday, October 5

In conjunction with Fremont county service providers and Central Wyoming College there will be a Panel Discussion on October 5, at 1:00 P.M. to 2:30 P.M. at the Little Theater located in the Student Center on campus.  The panel discussion will center around the services available on the Wind River Reservation and the surrounding area.  The members of the panel will include Judge St. Clair,  Chief Justice, Tribal Court; Paul Swenson, FBI Special Agent; Rita Gatlin, FBI Victim Specialist; Chief Joseph Brooks, WRPD; Roma Jimerson, Tribal Prosecutor; Christian Pulver, Certified Domestic Violence Facilitator; and Kerry Jacobson, Assistant United States Attorney.  Under discussion will be what each members role is in the fight against domestic violence, and what services are available to victims of domestic violence and their families. 

For Wednesday, October 6

Come watch “Sin By Silence,” on October 6, from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. in the Little Theater in the Student Center.  This is a powerful movie about women who have been convicted for killing their spouses in response to the abuse they were subject to.  Join us for this unique opportunity to learn about the issues of domestic violence from a survivor’s perspective.  The screening will be followed by a discussion with Stacy Crosley, daughter of a survivor featured in the film who was the first woman in California to use the battered woman’s defense.

If you have any questions about these events, stop by the Counseling and Career Services office in Main Hal 123F. or email Lance.
