Central Wyoming College

The first meat science degree in Wyoming is officially launching this fall at Central Wyoming College. The degree program aims to train the next generation of local butchers and food scientists. Wyoming Public Radio's Taylar Stagner spoke with program director Amanda Winchester about the program and what she hopes the students will learn.

The balloon rally has historically been held the third weekend in July for the ideal weather conditions in the Wind River Valley.

Central Wyoming College's program is one of only a handful of meat science programs in the nation and the first in Wyoming. The program teaches United State Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines, food safety, and how to responsibly butcher an animal.

The Wind River Community Forum is sponsored by health care providers all over Fremont County. Another community forum is being planned in the next six months.

Hot Notes Cool Nights started in 1994, and the crowd this week attracted about one hundred participants from all over central Wyoming.

The facility is for low-income young adults from the ages of 16 to 23 looking to get job training in less than two years.

Colleges all over Wyoming now have esports teams, some with designated gaming lounges and high end computers.

The degree was developed to support local community members in building Fremont County's economy.

Adam Scott is the coach of the CWC esports team and sees the growing interest in sports as a opportunity for those not interested in traditional sports.

The group is headed to Mount Everest to do climate research with an appreciation of what's at stake, professor Jacki Klancher said.
