Thank you, Miguel, for coming to campus and sharing such an engaging and thought-provoking talk with our UW community. Your work continues to inspire curiosity and expand the way we think about science, discovery and what is possible. It was especially meaningful to welcome a dear friend to Laramie for his first visit to Wyoming. We are grateful to everyone who attended, and to all who helped make the lecture and gathering so special.

Last week, I had the privilege of spending time with the UW Alumni Association Board for the final time in this role. Moments like this carry a lot of gratitude. I’m deeply thankful for this group’s unwavering commitment to the University of Wyoming, for the care they show our students and alumni, and for the pride they carry for this special place. It has been a true honor to share this journey with them, and I will always be grateful for their partnership and friendship.

My final Spring Convocation at UW was incredibly meaningful. I’m deeply grateful to Governor Gordon, Trustee Schmid-Pizzato, ASUW, our Staff and Faculty Senates, Interim Provost Anne Alexander, and everyone who made the afternoon so special. It was a chance to reflect on all we have accomplished together, thank the many people who have shaped this university, and look ahead with real excitement for UW’s future under incoming President Shane Reeves. I left feeling proud, grateful, and very lucky to have been part of this remarkable community. Go Pokes! 🤠

Experiential learning is one of the most powerful ways we prepare students for what comes next. It was a pleasure to attend the Experiential Education Showcase, share a few remarks, and hear from ASUW President Paula Medina about the real impact these opportunities have on learning, growth, and future success. I’m grateful for the faculty, staff, and partners who help bring these experiences to life for our students every day.
