UW’s 1st black student president visits campus

Jason Thompson is slated to be the keynote speaker today as part of the 2018 Martin Luther King Jr. Days of Dialogue at the University of Wyoming.

Jason Thompson, the University of Wyoming student government’s first black president, returns to campus today as the keynote speaker for UW’s annual Martin Luther King Jr. Days of Dialogue event.

Thompson said he never thought he would be ASUW president. He said he didn’t even plan on running, in fact, and only joined the race because his wife suggested it and his friend, Dominick Martinez, wanted to run for vice president.
