Travers named EWC president

Posted

TORRINGTON – At a special meeting Thursday, the Eastern Wyoming College Board of Trustees unanimously approved Dr. Lesley Travers of Casper as the next president of the educational institution.

The board contacted Travers prior to the meeting and she officially accepted the position and agreed to the contract without alteration, according to Board Chair John Patrick.

“I think, I certainly hope, I pray a little bit that this is a good choice,” he said at the meeting.

At her open public forum last month, Travers emphasized listening as key to her success as a community college president.

“I want to spend a lot of time watching and listening – that's how I want to learn about this college.”

In addition she discussed the importance of accessibility, transparency, review and assessment.

Travers currently serves as the Dean of the School of Business and Industry at Casper College, a position she has held since 2009.
