TORRINGTON – Eastern Wyoming College’s new Vice President for Academic Services is fueled by a passion for education that’s been burning for more than 50 years.
Roger Humphrey was appointed to the position at the December 2017 EWC Board of Trustees meeting, following a five-month stint as interim vice president.
“I loved school when I was a kid,” Humphrey said. “I’ve been in school one way or the other since 1966 … I have a passion for education. It opens doors, it provides students … an opportunity to better themselves and to better their lives. It’s rewarding to watch students as they progress, whether in my experience in the k-12 world or here, where they complete a program, a degree, a certificate. Down the road, hopefully they become a productive member of society – you hope you made an impact in their lives.”
Humphrey spent the past 34 years in various positions in the public-school systems, serving as a classroom teacher, building principal and central office administrator.
Specifically, he worked as the assistant superintendent for curriculum, assessment and professional development with Campbell County School District in Gillette; director of Title I in Gillette; assistant superintendent in Goshen County; elementary principal at Baggs Elementary in Cheyenne; and elementary principal in Pine Bluffs.
Humphrey joined EWC in 2015 as an education instructor. He then became the Associate Vice President for Academic Services and Outreach with the retirement of Mike Durfee.
