2603 Susan WoznyThis is a sad day for the University of Wyoming and the State of Wyoming. What are they thinking????
2604 Tanya Wagner
2605 AWhy on earth would they close this relic down?

2608 Brandy BakerAs a UW alumni, I am greatly saddened by this news. The museum has always been a wonderful resource for students and the community. I sincerely hope that the administration will keep the museum collection in tact, and to start a fundraising effort to support the museum.
2609 Shannon MontesIt was a dream of mine to bring my daughter to the Gelolgical Museum that I enjoyed while I was living in Laramie. I would have been glad to pay an entrance fee. Laramie has lost one of its great attractions.

2611 Chuck HaufWyoming has some of the most outstanding geologic features in the nation, the Geologic Museum being on of them. My education received at the University of Wyoming Geological Department was outstanding and measures up to that of any university in the country.

2613 MMB VidaverThis is horrible. What a bad idea.
2614 Tracy Blakeman
2615 Gerald WilgusThe closure of the Geological Museum, a resource that promotes an interest in, and understanding of, our world and the understanding of the natural history of our continent is profoundly shortsighted. This closure is nothing more than promoting deliberate ignorance.
2616 Mary OlsonSurely some kind of creative solution would keep this valuable museum open.

2620 Margaret NoelAn institution to advance knowledge closed - This is so horrid!

2622 John ZawiskieThe Museum and its dedicated Director are truly internationally known treasures and have been great ambassadors for the University and state of Wyoming. This is at best an uninformed decision that should be seriously re-evaluated.
2623 Jo Ann B. Davis
2624 Dan HauselPolitics as usual in Wyoming. The cost of running the museum annually does not amount to much. With little effort, one could make the musuem self sustaining by charging admissions, contributions, selling publications. If anything, UW should be expanding the museum into the old Power House.
2625 Jessica E. King
2626 James C. SagebielYou cannot run a museum with only security staff. The first and last person in a real museum must always be a curator of the collections.
2627 Benjamin Robertson
2628 Neffra MatthewsThe UWy should reopen the museum full time and reinstate the curator.
2629 Heather BarnhartFor the future education of our children the museum should stay open

2633 Larry HenzerlingScience museums are not a luxury. They are about us. A Geological museum provides information about the world we live in. This is timeless information to be passed on to our children and should be placed uppermost in our considerations, especially at the university level

2646 Leo PueblitzUW has enough money to remodel the football stadium, but not enough funding to keep a unique educational gem in operation? As much as I love Cowboy Athletics, UW is an educational institution first and foremost. Not every university has the opportunity to display local geological treasures for educational purposes. One would think that with all the funding the department of Geology and Geophysics receives from the oil industry something could be done to preserve this wonderful museum. As alumni of this department, it makes me very sad to see the museum close.
