Posted

Eastern Wyoming College Trustee Mike Varney, left, and EWC President Dr. Lesley Travers pose with Varney’s Wyoming Association of Community College Trustees Leadership at the WACCT conference on Feb. 12 in Cheyenne. Varney bested nominees from each of the Wyoming community colleges. Varney has been a long-time advocate for Eastern Wyoming College, beginning as employee in 1968. His tenure saw the start of men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball, track and field, golf and rodeo. He was also charged with the development of a mascot and new colors. Varney has served on the board for 11 years and has been elected treasurer each of those years. He is likely one of the most well-known people in Torrington. He has served on the City Council for 28 years and was mayor for 16 years.
