What you're discussing today could be a perfect complement not only to the proposed energy school but also to the Ruckelshaus Institute and Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources, and other ongoing university initiatives, by linking the College of Business and high-level business executives.

While the date (fall 2007) has merit, particularly from the perspective of 'filling the bucket' for the 00 million endowment and more opportunity for planning, I would urge you to recommend a start date of fall 2006. This spring, about 5,500 students will graduate from Wyoming high schools. Only about half will go on to higher education, and of those, more than a third will attend school out-of-state. Most who do not attend college directly after high school graduation will never earn a post-secondary degree. Many who go to college out-of-state will be lost to Wyoming forever.

That's consistent with the demographics in the state of Wyoming right now. We have entered into a period which may play out for the next 12 to 13 years, where there will be a decline in high school (graduates).

When you work for a university, it is difficult to contemplate a time when a parking facility would trump an academic building.

As envisioned, the proposed energy school will bring together the scientific, engineering and economic disciplines at UW to focus on teaching and research related to the state's energy infrastructure
