Wyoming Catholic College (WCC)

In 2003, then bishop of Wyoming David Ricken expressed interest in having a Catholic college in Wyoming. Together with a parish priest of the Diocese of Cheyenne, Robert Cook, and Robert Carlson, a Wyoming college professor and a former student of John Senior, the bishop began forming plans to found the college. In 2004 and 2005, Lander Wyoming was selected as the location, and Carlson wrote the Philosophical vision statement of the college. On July 11, 2005, Wyoming Catholic College incorporated in the State of Wyoming with Cook as president and Carlson as academic dean.
