Sheridan College to assist in Gillette College transition process

On Aug. 17, Campbell County overwhelmingly voted to make Gillette College independent of the Northern Wyoming Community College District (NWCCD), its parent institution that it had been part of since its inception in 1969. Just over two months later, plans are underway by Sheridan College to help aid in this objective by offering guidance and assistance along the way.

Dr. Walter Tribley, the President of Sheridan College, said that he and his administration are committed to helping in the transition process and will abide by a set of shared values. Those include working "collaboratively, transparently, respectfully, and professionally to ensure success for both Gillette College and Sheridan College in terms of accreditation and fiscal soundness with the best interests of current and future students, faculty, staff, and academic programs in mind," according to a press release about a special meeting held last week in Buffalo between the two boards and college presidents.
