Wyoming Catholic College Annual Lecture Series - 2024-2025 Lecture 4: Dr. Edward Castronova

Each year, Wyoming Catholic College invites members of the wider academic community to the town of Lander—distinguished men and women who contribute complementary perspectives across a wide range of disciplines. This series is considered an essential part of the College’s curriculum, and attendance is mandatory for the entire student body. But it is more than simply a required element of our students’ education; it is also an opportunity to welcome members of the local community into the academic life of the College.
