From the President’s Desk – May

As we wrap up another academic year at Casper College, I want to take a moment to congratulate each of our students on everything you’ve accomplished. Whether you’re completing your first semester or preparing to graduate, this is a time to pause, reflect, and celebrate the progress you’ve made.

This year has brought its share of challenges and triumphs, and through it all, you’ve demonstrated resilience, determination, and a commitment to your goals. Earning college credits—whether one class, a certificate, or a full degree—is never easy. It takes dedication, discipline, and grit. You should be proud of what you’ve achieved.

To those who will be returning in the fall: enjoy a well-deserved break this summer. Take time to rest, recharge, and refocus. We look forward to welcoming you back. Every semester is another step forward, and we are excited to have you continue your journey with us.

To those of you graduating, transferring, or entering the workforce: congratulations on reaching this important milestone. You are ready. The knowledge and experience you’ve gained at Casper College have prepared you to take on new challenges with confidence. Whether you’re starting a new job, continuing your education at a four-year institution, or exploring new opportunities, we believe in you and your ability to succeed. We send you off with confidence, knowing that you are ready to make a positive impact in your communities and beyond. Always remember success isn’t only measured in degrees or job titles, but in the character you bring to your work and the compassion you show to others.

As president, one of the greatest joys of this role is seeing the unique paths our students take and the incredible things you go on to do. No matter where your next chapter leads, remember Casper College is always with you. You are forever part of the Thunderbird family, and we will support and cheer you on every step of the way. Casper College truly is an education for a lifetime!

I encourage you to make the most of your summer. Spend time with family and friends. Enjoy Wyoming’s beautiful outdoors. Do something that brings you joy. You’ve earned it.

Best wishes for a safe, restful summer and continued success in all that you pursue.
