Energy research and plans for a new welcome center resulted in the University of Wyoming exceeding the $50 million threshold in private contributions for the first time in its history. The state's only 4-year public university raised a record $56 million for the fiscal year ending on June 30. UW's previous record for private gifts was $43.1 million in 2011. UW Foundation President Ben Blalock says UW's School of Energy Resources continues to draw millions of dollars in industry contributions for research and improved facilities. In addition, he says the Marian H. Rochelle Gateway Center project on campus has attracted $22.5 million. Blalock says such projects excite alumni and others and it's important that the university remain visionary so that it keeps improving and growing.
