UNIVERSITY BACKSTORY Maximizing Impact of Funds

When the state of Wyoming decided it would fund a science facility at the University of Wyoming, University leadership made a strategic decision: the University would focus the new facility on first and second year STEM lab courses which would impact the greatest number of students and achieve the maximum bang for the buck. As an additional benefit, the relocated lab courses would release space in existing buildings to enhance upper division courses and provide expanded research space. In honor of Wyoming’s long-standing champion of education, the facility was to be named for United States Senator Michael Enzi.
