Hello there. This is Mark Bowerline with another conversation. Before we get to it, a word about one of our sponsors.

Located in the foothills of Wyoming's spectacular wind river range, Wyoming Catholic College,

an accredited four-year Great Books Institution

is built on the ancient Western tradition of the liberal arts and the freedom of the American

West. The college offers its students an immersion in the primary sources of the classical

tradition, the grandeur of the mountain wilderness, and the spiritual heritage of the Catholic

Church. Students experience the illumination of imagination and intellect through the great books

and traditional disciplines, literature and philosophy, mathematics and theology, science

and Latin, and an outdoor program second to none.

The college celebrated an in-person graduation with its seniors last year and welcomed

its largest freshman class ever this year.
