Gillette native deputy director of development at UW ag collegeWyoming A Gillette-area native who grew up on a ranch--and earned a degree in marketing and her juris doctorate from the University of Wyoming--is the deputy director of development in the College of Agriculture. Stephanie Anesi began March 3. "I think working in the College of Agriculture is a good fit," said Anesi, who received her marketing degree in 1997 and her law degree in 2003. "The attitude here is happy. People like their jobs. I think it's going to be a nice place to work." Anesi will work with alumni, corporations, and friends of the college to secure private support for programs. "We are delighted to welcome Stephanie," said Anne Leonard, director, Ag Development and College Relations. "Her knowledge of agriculture coupled with her legal training will be an asset to our programs. I am looking forward to introducing her to our alumni and constituents." Anesi was employed in the state Attorney General's office in Cheyenne after receiving her law degree and worked for a time in the city attorney's office in Laramie. Her focus in the development office is major gifts. "Many of my skills can be applied to the development office," said Anesi. "I have good communication skills--both oral and written - and I have a good understanding of the more technical aspects, such as endowments, trusts and estate planning." She participated in 4-H as a youth, having horse, dog and other projects. Anesi has another country claim--she was the National High School Rodeo Association queen from 1991-1992, and traveled the nation. "It was a phenomenal experience most high school teenagers don't get," said Anesi. "I was much more outgoing at the end. I was a fairly shy teenager before I had the experience. After, I was much more mature and more comfortable approaching people and engaging them in conversation." Her husband, Travis, earned his animal science degree from UW in 1997. He is a superintendent for Delta Construction, Inc., in Laramie. 4/7/08 Date: 4/2/08
