Happy Thanksgiving

What do like to do for Thanksgiving. I usually look a lot like this guy!

Sometimes though the family will actually get off the couch and go outside (if the weather is good) and have our own game. Last year we had so much fun! The whole family got a touch football game going. We had the guys and girls yound and old all playing together and it was a blast.

Does your family have any fun traditions?

Campus tour video

David Phillips, one of our student ambassadors, created this campus tour video in 2007. It's kind of an interesting way to view much of our campus without actually being here. Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xV_kkUCvOK8

Welcome back!

Can you believe we're back in school again. It's good to be back though. Here's wishing you all a succesful and fun school year. Did you all get out to see the vball team takin' care of businees on Sept. 26. It was a great atmosphere as the team swept Colorado Northwestern and the fans had the place rockin'. They play at home again this weekend, Friday the 12th at 7:00 and Saturday at 3:00, see ya' there.

Guess what else! Thunder now has a MySpace page, become Thunder's friend by visiting http://www.myspace.com/westernwyomingcc.

How do you celebrate Leap Day?

February 29th is Leap Day. It only comes once every four years, so we get to experience only a limited number of them in our lives. I say make it a special day. Tell me how you are making Leap Day special. Does anyone out there have a birthday on Leap Day? If so, tell me what that has been like to have a birthday only once every four years.

Hopefully you will all Jump for joy this Leap Day, 2008!

Juniors Enjoy Get Away Day!

Admissions Coordinator, Brant Brown spoke to visiting high school juniors before pairing them with a student host for the day. If you missed this event then you really missed out. Guest students had the opportunity to join their hosts in classes and enjoyed other activities familiar to college students such as Guitar Hero, shooting some pool, and just hangin out in all the best hang-out spots on campus.

If you attended the event, what did you think?

Fun at High School Night

If you didn't make it to High School Night this past Saturday at the Mustang basketball games then you missed out on a really good time. Pictured here are some of the high schoolers that had the opportunity to compete in basketball musical chairs. Congratulations to Skylar Reed of Rock Springs, winner of a MP3 player and to Jordan Catron of Manila, winner of a DVD player. All contestants recieved a t-shirt autographed by the entire basketball team. We all had a great time watching the contest and the basketball games.

Phi Theta Kappa Inductions

Every semester Phi Theta Kappa inducts their new members into the club with a nice ceremony. PTK is exclusive to students who achieve a GPA of 3.8 with 12 credit hours or more. PTK members coordinate activities to raise money for the organization but more importanly, they raise money for donations to various causes. If interested in joining and you would like more information, contact Jackie Freeze or Debbie Clawson.

Root Beer Pong!!!

Resident Assistants (RA's) in our on-campus housing host events such as Root Beer Pong!! In this fun and safer version of quarters, participants threw ping pong balls into cups of root beer. This is just one of many ways in which the RA's bring dorm dwellers together to get to know each other and have fun!

Intramurals

I went down to watch one of the boys intramural games and it was a very intense game! Bryan Welchman went up for 2 points against two other opponents and made the shot helping his team out. Unfortunately they didn't come away with a win. Maybe next time.

Looking for a new president.

After 20 years of service Dr. Tex Boggs has announced his retirement. Thank you for everything Dr. Boggs!

The search for our next president, who should start this summer, has begun. What do you think we should be looking for in our next president?

You don't want to miss these Mustangs!

The men's team is also looking good this year. The team boasts a 14-2 record right now. The men have home games coming up on January 25th and 26th. The women will also have a game on the 26th just before the men's game. It is a perfect chance to come see both teams play. January 26th is also "Labor Night" at the basketball games so there will also be lots of free food and prizes. See you there.

Women's bball heats up the court!

Our women's basketball team is doing awesome again this year. Right now they have a 12-3 record. Come see them play this Friday, January 18th at 6:00 PM!
