University of Wyoming President, Tom Buchanan will be in Sweetwater County on Thursday to continue to promote cooperation between UW and the state's community colleges. After visiting this fall with community college trustees and presidents around the state, Buchanan says all agree that that it is in the state's best interest to improve opportunities at all levels of education in Wyoming. He notes 45 percent of community college students are 25 years old or older, and many have job and family obligations that do not allow them to attend classes offered at the Laramie campus. Buchanan also says that UW is doing a good job reading students with their outreach programs, but says they have to do more, including having a stronger physical presence on each campus.
