Saturday U returns to Pinedale Sept 27

September 17, 2018

Saturday U. returns to Pinedale but it will be on a Thursday night. That Thursday night will be September 27th and the learning will start at 6 p.m. Two local organizations and the Wyoming Humanities Council are pleased to host the University of Wyoming’s special outreach program they call "Saturday U." The Sublette County Library will host the event in the Lovatt Room. Sublette BOCES will organize the evening and will provide a free light meal and drinks to the audience.

The purpose of Saturday U. on Thursday is to bring the research done by University of Wyoming professors to the people of Wyoming. Our one university is strongly committed to the goal of enriching education for everyone in Wyoming and that is also the goal of the two local organizations. For Sublette BOCES, it is also important to provide intellectual stimulation in a public setting.

One nice element of Saturday U. is that the topics always vary. This fall, the talks lean toward history.

Dr. Kent Drummond (from Business and Marketing) will bring a marketer’s perspective to explaining how the Wizard of Oz became and remains so popular.

Dr. Jeffrey Lockwood, one of U.W.’s more entertaining professors, is an Entomologist who teaches Philosophy. He will be presenting a talk on how swarms of locusts disappeared due to an incredible accident—teaching us more about how we interact with the natural world.

Finally, Dr. Susan Aronstein from the English Department will about give a talk on the myths and tourism that surround England’s King Arthur.
