Building social justice at University of Wyoming

The University of Wyoming's commitment to social justice was one reason Kate Muir Welsh accepted a position as a faculty member in the College of Education in 2002, and now she will be able to continue that commitment as the director of UW's Social Justice Research Center.

Welsh replaced Francisco Rios earlier this year as the second director of the center, which was started in 2007 through an endowment fund from an anonymous donor.
