Each community college maintains numerous partnerships for the development and provision of academic, occupational-technical, workforce development, and enrichment educational programs. These partnerships assist the colleges in meeting the higher educational needs of Wyoming’s citizens and communities. In fiscal year 2008, Wyoming community colleges partnered with many public and private firms, educational institutions, and state agencies. These diverse partnerships were cultivated in all areas of community college education including: remedial education, adult basic education (ABE), English as a second language (ESL), business, health sciences, fine arts, technical education, workforce training, education, language arts, social sciences, physical sciences, biological sciences, family skills/studies, personal enrichment and leadership studies. The information provided in this report indicates that the partnerships initiated and maintained by the seven community colleges, the University of Wyoming, and the Wyoming Community College Commission are relevant to the educational programs offered at each institution. This information also indicates that these programs are beneficial to students, staff, faculty, and community stakeholders in each respective community college service area. ~ Wyoming Community College Commission Partnership Report~ 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION NAME PAGE Community College Partnerships with the University of Wyoming 4 Casper College Partnerships 12 Central Wyoming College Partnerships 50 Eastern Wyoming College Partnerships 70 Laramie County Community College Partnerships 81 Northwest College Partnerships 119 Northern Wyoming Community College District Partnerships 167 Western Wyoming Community College Partnerships 185 Wyoming Community College Commission Partnerships 200 Published: February 24, 2009 Contact: Belinda Kolb, MBA Policy Analyst Wyoming Community College Commission 2020 Carey Avenue, 8th Floor Cheyenne, Wyoming 82002 (307) 777-7763 www.communitycolleges.wy.edu ~ Wyoming Community College Commission Partnership Report~ 3 COMMUNITY COLLEGE PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING Wyoming’s seven community colleges are engaged in several different types of partnerships with the state's only four-year institution, the University of Wyoming (UW). The community colleges and UW have positive and highly effective relationships with each other making a strong voice for Wyoming higher education. A few of the partnerships between Wyoming community colleges and the University of Wyoming: Transfer Process Review: A subgroup of UW’s Enrollment Management Committee undertook a review of transfer processes intended to better facilitate transfer student transitions to UW. A number of the recommendations are in various stages of implementation, including improved transfer student orientation, a transfer student guide, UW advisor preparation, and course evaluation processes. Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) Degree: In collaboration with all seven Wyoming community colleges and the Wyoming Community College Commission, UW developed and launched a new baccalaureate degree track designed specifically for students holding an Associates of Applied Science (AAS) degree with some experience in the workforce. The BAS was designed to provide qualified students additional career opportunities provided both through breadth from general education essential to the baccalaureate and depth in organizational leadership and management from upper division UW courses. The BAS is housed in the College of Agriculture and delivered by the UW Outreach School through Online UW, making it available statewide and beyond. http://uwadmnweb.uwyo.edu/basa/ Birth to Five Early Childhood Endorsement Program: The Departments of Elementary and Early Childhood Education, Family and Consumer Sciences, and early childhood community college faculty at all seven sites collaborated to develop and deliver a Birth to Five Early Childhood Endorsement Program to address a statewide need for certified pre-school teachers. http://www.uwyo.edu/elemed/ec/ecb5.asp Libraries at UW and the Community Colleges: The college and university libraries collaborate to form a critical network for teaching, learning, and research within Wyoming. UW Libraries work closely with the community college libraries to provide local support for UW ~ Wyoming Community College Commission Partnership Report~ 4 students throughout Wyoming. The academic libraries also cooperate in joint purchasing of academic resources and share collections with all Wyoming libraries stretching Wyoming funding among the academics and sharing resources with public and school libraries. The academic librarians annually meet to assess their efforts in providing information for university and college students. http://uwadmnweb.uwyo.edu/UW/libraries/ College of Business at UW and the Community Colleges: Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative: As a result of a grant from the Daniels Fund, the Bill Daniels Distinguished Professor of Business Ethics has collaborated with the state’s seven community colleges to increase the amount of business ethics education in the state and has made available resources to help with teaching ethics, including classroom teaching by the Daniels Professor. The initiative has also awarded grants to faculty at the community colleges to develop teaching modules for ethics. The initiative provides a yearly Teaching Business Ethics Workshop for both community college faculty and University faculty, The University and several community colleges have now prepared articulation agreements for business ethics courses. http://uwacadweb.uwyo.edu/BUSINESSETHICS/ College of Engineering and Applied Science and the Community Colleges: From time to time, many of Wyoming’s community colleges have difficulty delivering their full programs in engineering due to shortages of faculty to teach the courses or too few students to justify offering courses. In order to facilitate completion of the AS degree by community college students, the College is working with LCCC, WWCC, and NEC on an innovative approach to delivering engineering science courses (Statics, Fluid Dynamics, and Electric Circuits in spring 2009). Community college students attend these courses online as they are delivered simultaneously to UW students on campus. Community college faculty are serving as “local heroes” for their own students by holding office hours, proctoring exams, and providing other services that would be more difficult and less effective without local support. In Fall 2009, three additional courses (Dynamics, Mechanics of Materials, and Thermodynamics) are expected to be delivered using this same approach. In addition, two surveying courses are being offered through our well-established surveying certificate program. Both programs are utilizing the University’s Outreach School. The courses are well subscribed, and will enable students to continue further study, at the University, toward the Bachelor of Science in Engineering (all programs). The College will collaborate with Northern Wyoming Community College (NWCC) to offer series of lectures focused on various aspects of energy. The collaboration is funded by a grant ~ Wyoming Community College Commission Partnership Report~ 5 provided by the U.S. Department of Energy, in response to a proposal submitted by NWCC supported by the College. http://wwweng.uwyo.edu/ College of Health Sciences at UW and the Community Colleges: Dental Hygiene UW/Sheridan College: The University of Wyoming and Sheridan College offer a cooperative program in dental hygiene. Students take approximately 40 hours of prerequisites at any accredited institution and apply for admission to Sheridan’s dental hygiene program. Upon receiving the two-year AAS from Sheridan College, students are eligible to complete requirements for a bachelor’s of science in dental hygiene degree from UW. Approximately half of the dental hygiene courses are offered as Sheridan College courses; the other half are UW upper division courses taught at Sheridan College. http://www.sheridan.edu/programs/dental.asp Bachelor’s in Social Work [B.S.W.] UW/Casper College: The UW/CC undergraduate social work program began in 1977. A UW faculty member with the Masters in Social Work serves as the Assistant BSW Coordinator, instructor and Assistant Field Coordinator for the UW/CC social work program. The UW/CC B.S.W. program has a consistent group of approximately 25-40 advisees at any one time, graduating about 2-14 students each spring semester. UW/CC also has an active Social Work Student Association group providing student support, service projects to the community, and fund-raising activities that support their projects throughout the year. http://www.uwyo.edu/socialwork/info.asp?p=2691 R.N to Bachelor of Science in Nursing [B.S.N.] Completion Program: The Fay W.

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.
