A Wyoming Conversation Program
A Changing Wyoming

The Wyoming Council for the Humanities will be presenting a series of programs entitled, “A Wyoming Conversation” January through June this year. A Wyoming Conversation is a statewide discussion program in partnership with Wyoming Public Radio, Wyoming Public Television, the Wyoming Community Foundation, and the University of Wyoming American Studies Program.
