  • University of Wyoming Laramie, Wyoming Waste Reduction
    University of Wyoming Laramie, Wyoming Waste Reduction SCHOOL The University of Wyoming is a public, four-year school with an enrollment of 13,000, located in Laramie, Wyoming. ABSTRACT The University of Wyoming (UW) has been recycling textbooks, both soft and hard cover, for more than 10 years. UW donates about 10,000 pounds of books to Better World Books each year for reuse, the books that are not donated are recycled with other paper recycling; an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 pounds of books are recycled each year (2 to 3 times the amount donated). More than half of the books collected are hard cover books (60% hard cover and 40% soft cover). GOALS AND OUTCOMES Accomplishments and Outcomes Bins are put out during book buyback times at the book buyback area of the bookstore. UW also collects books year round from students, faculty and staff in the regular recycling bins. As mentioned, UW works with Better World Books (BWB) (www.betterworldbooks.com) to donate books that are in good shape and valuable. BWB provides a scanner to plug into a computer and log on to their website; BWB also provide boxes to ship books. UW scans the ISBN numbers to see if they are wanted for donation, if so shipment is arranged and paid for by BWB (each shipment is a pallet or two- about 90 boxes). The books that are not donated (through BWB) are processed for recycling - a paper cutting machine is used to remove the spines and covers and the paper is recycled. The paper cutting machine is a Horizon PC-45 which has a 22” paper knife that works hydraulically/electrically.

  • The Marianne Stoller Scholarship in This Edition of Newsfocus
    ewsfocu FALL 2006 THE WOMAN’S EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY of COLORADO COLLEGE N S FOUNDED IN 1889 TO GIVE ASSISTANCE TO THE STUDENTS OF COLORADO COLLEGE Introducing New WES Scholars “You have been selected to be named a WES Scholar, and a $3750 grant awarded to you for the 2006-2007 academic year will be paid from funds made available to the college by the Woman’s Educational Society of Colorado College. In addition, WES will establish an account in the amount of $900 in your name at the Colorado College Bookstore… This organization of over 300 members exists to assist the college and its women students in every way possible… We are pleased to welcome you as a WES Scholar and look forward to meeting you in September.” Five first year students and one sophomore student received letters this spring from WES and the Financial Aid Office bearing this good news. Hannah Heckman is a Colorado native, spending most of her life in Arvada near Denver. She has had a wide variety of educational experiences, leaving a Catholic school she attended since kindergarten to be home schooled in the sixth grade, then entering a public high school her freshman year. During those four years, she was an active participant in the orchestra as a violinist and in the theater department as a set crew member and sound technician. After taking as many honors and AP classes as she could, Hannah graduated from Ralston Valley High School as a valedictorian of the class of 2006. She is passionate about many subjects ranging from philosophy, education, art and English to foreign relations, anthropology, mathematics and physics, and is looking forward to the opportunity to explore all of these areas at Colorado College in the fall.

  • There's No Doubt Arena Projects Are Challenging
    There’s no doubt arena projects are challenging; the sheer size and complexity of modern arenas guarantee that. The University of Wyoming Arena Auditorium renovation, however, posed more obstacles than most. From unknown conditions behind and below the 30+-year- old concrete walls, floor, and tread risers, to unforeseen weather circumstances, this project stands out from the crowd. Originally built in 1982, this NCAA Division 1 arena is home to the UW Cowboys and Cowgirls basketball teams. Despite the 200,000 SF area, the floor space was inadequate for an effective practice area (Photo 1). The University also wanted to enhance the customer experience for the incredibly loyal fans. Rather than build a new facility, the University chose to increase the playable floor space and upgrade the fan experience within the existing footprint. The unique renovation utilized mass demolition, soil nail retaining walls, and retractable seating system to nearly double the event floor adding two half-court practice venues for the UW basketball program. Key elements of the reconfiguration that escalate the fan experience include prime student seating closer to the floor; sightline sensitive seating design; additional, elevated media seats; additional ADA seating; and maximized sightlines to the two new 19’x45’ state-of-the-art video display boards. UW Athletics directed the renovation design which rotates the basketball court, expands the court level floor to accommodate greater practice functions, provides retractable seating in the lowest portion of the seating bowl, provides new seats in the lower bowl, and replaces the arena’s video and sound systems. The arena’s new lighting and audio visual system support the desired pre-game and performance displays that enrich the spectator’s experience of Wyoming basketball.
