Eastern Wyoming College is located in the center of the American West. We’re a small college that serves a huge area: our main campus is in Torrington, we have a brand new branch campus in Douglas, and 12 outreach sites located in 6 Wyoming counties. Our service area is 16,507 square miles! Founded in 1948, we’re a traditional college with a modern campus, new student housing, and great athletic teams. We have small classes, excellent facilities, and the best academic and vocational programs and faculty in the region. Two major building projects will start in 2016, which will allow for further program growth. Also available are numerous student clubs, as well as service and honors organizations, and abundant student activi- ties. Our student and support services are second to none. Year after year, students and their families talk about how friendly we are. Whether you’re looking for a place to help you prepare for success at a four-year college or uni- versity, learn a skill or trade, or just move into the next phase of your life, you’ll find EWC is good fit for you. Even if you don’t fit the traditional student mold, we’re still the place for you! If you’re a high school student looking to jump-start your education, a single parent, a returning veteran, a person working full-time in your career, or the first in your family to attend college, we can meet your needs and support you along the way. We excel in starts and restarts.

As a result, the WCCC worked on behalf of the colleges and, in some respects, the University of Wyoming and private institutions to ensure student success and operational institutions. The WCCC worked across the funding sources of three primary components of CARES funding to focus on three specific phases of operations: 1. Mitigation; 2. Recovery and Re-Entry; and 3. Return to the New Normal. In order to achieve supporting the community colleges and higher education students statewide, the institutions had three primary sources of CARES funds: • HEERF Funds—Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund provided a direct distribution from USDE to the IHE equally split between institutional operations and student grants.

As such, the University and K12 education entities are expressly stated within the constitution, but the community colleges are not. Article 7 of the Wyoming Constitution states that the “Legislature shall provide for the establishment and maintenance of a complete and uniform system of public instruction, embracing free elementary schools of every needed kind and grade, a university with such technical and professional departments as the public good may require and the means of the state allow, and such other institutions as may be necessary (emphasis added).” Although not specifically stated in the constitution, the latter statement and subsequent Legislative actions indicate a broad understanding that the community colleges are “necessary institutions” of education for Wyoming. The community colleges have been specifically added to the Wyoming Statutes consistently since inception with the role of the Wyoming Community College Commission (WCCC), which serves as the representative agency for coordination, advocacy, funding, and efficiency/accountability on behalf of the State and community college education statewide.
