The Diversity committee presents an important one-man play about identity, family history and race. All are welcome to attend.
Fosberg was raised a middle-class, white suburban Chicago-ite. When he was in his early 30s he learned his real father was African American:
“I share these discoveries in "Incognito," the solo-show I have performed in theatres, high schools, colleges, and performing arts centers throughout the country -a production chosen by The Chicago Tribune as "one of the top theatrical events of the 2001 season." While performing "Incognito" I’ve been amazed at how my story resonates with a wide range of audiences both young and old, black and white. Post-show discussions have resulted in lively and profound conversation on how we each perceive race and identity.
"Incognito" is the story of my journey to uncover and discover my self, my roots, my family, and the difficult history behind the tragic American complexity of "race".”
“"Incognito" unfolds as a mystery, for both myself, and the audience, as I search for my biological father following the divorce of my mother and step-father. The show’s structure allows the audience to make their own discoveries in the moment along with me – discoveries about themselves, and their perceptions of identity and stereotypes.
Through my investigation and a quirk of fate, I am led to my father in a first phone call. It is during this call while in Detroit that he reveals he is black…a fact somehow lost as I was raised by my mother and adopted father. This life-changing information was also somehow hidden from me since I don’t "look black". (The audience and I make this physical discovery at the same time.)
My new-found African-American father tells me of family members who played significant roles in African-American history: a distant relation to the abolitionist John Brown; a great-great grandfather who served in the 54th regiment of the colored infantry during the Civil War; & a great grandfather who was an all-star pitcher in the Negro baseball leagues. He then tells me my grandparents are alive and living in Virginia.
Rocked by these revelations, I decide to journey to Virginia Beach to meet my adoring grandparents and mirror-image father for the first time. During this reunion, I am bestowed with a package of important family documents. Included in this treasure-trove of ancestral history are handwritten letters my mother wrote, detailing her mental angst in making the decision to leave my father and return to her parents home, raising me as white.
My journey concludes with a visit to newly found African-American cousin on Martha’s Vineyard. In a stop at the "Inkwell," the African-American beach resort on the island, I am introduced to a slew of characters and subsequently invited into the extended African-American family. While delighted by this turn of events, I am also faced with conflicting emotions: elation at my heritage, anger for the time lost with my family, and confusion trying to understand exactly where I fit - black or white.
Finally, at the end of the show, I challenge the audience about their own preconceptions of who I am and how we each define race. We are left with a realization of the difficulties in categorizing, and a clear understanding of the importance of embracing and celebrating all of who we are.”

Hey everybody! This semester is going by so extremely fast I can’t believe it. It’s a little scary this spring semester is halfway over already. I’m having a lot of tests which means lots of studying, especially since it is getting closer and closer to the end. The professors are all very helpful this spring semester. They are all so great! I really enjoy Central Wyoming College. I’m excited with this semester because of all the fun activities going on!

New ceramic work by Danny Brown, Central Wyoming College’s ceramics instructor, is on exhibit in the Robert A. Peck Arts Center Gallery at CWC until Thursday, March 24. The Gallery is open during regular college business hours and free to the public.
Brown’s ceramic work operates under a two-part focus. The forms follow along the guidelines of utility and are meant to be used or appreciated as potentially useful. Second, the surface of the work has its roots in the landscape, the natural world and storytelling.
Brown, a Riverton native, has a Masters of Fine Arts from Wichita State University in Wichita, Kansas.
A representative from Utah Valley University from Orem, UT will be on campus on Tuesday, March 22 from 10 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the table located outside of the Student Success Center. Students interested in transferring to Utah Valley University are encouraged to meet with the rep.

Coming to CWC in April is the Professional Teaching Standards Board. More information will follow as the date gets closer…
This semester is quite frankly not as bad as I assumed it would be. I am meeting my deadlines, preparing, and getting things done, even with the time shortage. As we all know this semester is being cut very short, deadlines are approaching quickly, papers are due more closely together than usual, not to mentions tests and quizzes. Though I worry, I try to remind myself that everything gets done in its own time, I always get it done, and I may as well try to enjoy the time I do have, after I get my school work done, instead of worrying. There is so much going on this semester between work, school, activities, and more. I hope everyone is enjoying their semester and the opportunities that are available here at CWC. As always, I encourage you to do your work, then get out there and live it up! I know all my hard work is going towards the greatest goal: an extended summer! Have fun this semester because the end is quickly approaching!

Author presents Caroline Lockhart, novelist, journalist, homesteader, and founder of the Cody rodeo
Montana author John Clayton discusses his book on the life of Cody’s Caroline Lockhart, a best-selling novelist, newspaper publisher and founder of the Cody rodeo Tuesday, March 15 at 3:30 p.m. in the Little Theatre.
Refreshments will be served. This event is sponsored by the CWC Library and the Wyoming Humanities Council. It is free and open to the public.
Clayton, a Red Lodge, Mont., resident who regularly writes for Montana Magazine and the Montana Quarterly, is the author of “The Cowboy Girl,” a narrative biography of Lockhart, who moved to the newly-founded town of Cody in 1904.
The author speaks of Lockhart’s career in Cody, a place where she wrote seven novels, including three that were made into films; and her years as editor and publisher of the Cody Enterprise.
Clayton’s presentation “Happily Ever Aftering on a 1920s Cattle Ranch,” discusses Lockhart’s move to a homestead in Montana where she tried to enact in real life the “happily ever after” experiences she described in her Western fiction.
Clayton’s book, “The Cowboy Girl”, is available in the library for check out!
Hello everyone, it’s Christina again and so far this semester at Central has been very exciting, entertaining and eventful. Since I am graduating this spring, classes have been very overwhelming but thanks to the CWC Jackpots at the Equine Center, ski trips, the play South Pacific, holidays and other activities that Central has promoted or produced, I am having a blast! Just recently the hypnotist Frederick Winters visited campus and I was able to be a participant on stage. I know that for a lot of people this was a great experience and it was very fun and funny. It was also really neat at how many people I got to meet!! I made several new friends!
Since the last time I wrote, our housing area flooded. It set off the fire alarms and the whole building smelt like a swamp for about a week. Thank goodness they workers finally tore out the carpet and beginning to get everything fixed back up; on the plus side, the smell has been gone for about the last three weeks. The building flooded from a broken pipe and of course many people moved out or to the other side of the building. Those of us that happened to live on the other side were very grateful that we got to stay with our roommates and that our floors were still dry.
The last CWC Jackpot series was February 26! It was fun watching my roommate run barrels, poles and do some breakaway! She has been doing really well and always finds areas to work on after competing. Just so you readers know she is the best roommate ever! She and I really support each other and the best part of that is her family was here for the last jackpot and it was very entertaining! We all keep each other from getting bored waiting for my roommate to ride. Another thing I like about the jackpots is the younger kids that run barrels and poles and tie goats. They are so cute! And they are all pretty supportive of one another! The youngsters also seem to have good attitudes.
Well that’s all I have for now! Thanks for reading!

Renowned inspirational speaker/comedian and internet phenomenon Judson Laipply speaks at Central Wyoming College Tuesday, March 29 in the Robert A. Peck Arts Center Theatre at 8 p.m.

The event is free and open to the public and is sponsored by the CWC Student Senate and Student Life Department.He will also be performing his internet sensation “The Evolution of Dance.”
Laipply first jumped onto the world stage in March 2001 when he performed for the first time in public. After mixing together 12 popular dance songs from the past 50 years, he introduced “The Evolution of Dance” and it instantly became a crowd favorite. Five years and 18 songs later, he placed a video of the 30-song six-minute dance on You Tube and it became a viral sensation.
