The 1986 University of Wyoming Trustees Symposium examined five broad topics. Keynote speakers and topics are as follows: "An Introduction to the University of Wyoming" (Donald L. Veal); "What Is a University and What Is Its Role in Society?" (Walter Eggers); "Challenges for Universities in the Decades Ahead" (Jack H. Schuster); "Alternatives for Dealing with the Challenges" (Janice H. Harris); and "Where Do We Go from Here?" (Walter Eggers). Recommendations include the need to: strengthen the curriculum in education, develop a statewide system of higher education, concentrate on faculty development via better working conditions and recognition; improve communications among students, faculty, administrators, and trustees within the university; and consolidate programs. Summaries of the group discussions and brief biographies of each participant, including the University of Wyoming Trustees, are included. (SM)
