Hello there.

This is Mark Bauerline 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.
