College of Education alumni are integral to the state of Wyoming and beyond. They ensure our youngest citizens are given the best chance for their future and also work to support the mental health and wellness of all our citizens. Aside from their careers, our alumni are also local leaders whose everyday actions elevate everyone around them. Bertine Bahige, principal at Rawhide Elementary in Gillette and co-director of the school’s dual-immersion (DLI) program;
and Kristi Von Krosigk, UW pre-service teacher program facilitator in Sheridan county, are two UW College of Education alumni who showcase their Cowboy values by playing key roles in their communities. “There is nothing compared to the resiliency and the hard work of a Cowboy. Understanding that nothing will come easy but through hard work, perseverance and commitment to problem solving, everything is possible,” Bahige says. Education@UWYO 2020 Edition • 19
