Slated to open its doors to its first class of students in 2007, Wyoming Catholic College, a liberal arts institution which will focus on the Great Books and the outdoors, now has a president.
Bishop David L. Ricken, of the statewide Diocese of Cheyenne, announced that Fr. Robert Cook, a parish priest from Casper, will leave his post next summer to begin heading the school, located in Lander, Wyoming.
Fr. Cook, who has been involved in the college’s development for the last two years, holds a law degree from the University of Stanford. He is currently pastor of Our Lady of Fatima parish.
According to the Associated Press, Bishop Ricken has pointed out that Fr. Cook’s classical background in the liberal arts will serve him well as president.
