Bill Landen
Athletic Director
(307) 268-2667
Bill Landen took over as athletic director two years ago, but he is not new to those who have been around Casper College and its athletic programs.
Bill has spent the past 22 years at Casper College. Prior to accepting his current role, Bill served as Director of College Relations for 18 years.
Bill's commitment to the T-Birds dates back to his student days at Casper College, where he wrote about Swede Erickson's T-Birds as editor of the campus newspaper. He later covered Casper College as a professional journalist for the Casper Star-Tribune and KTWO Radio.
Since his arrival in the athletic department, his focus has been on community and student involvement in the college's four sports programs. Bill has worked with the T-Bird Booster Club to establish a permanent endowment for athletics, and that fund hit the quarter million dollar mark this year.
T-Bird fans may recognize Bill from his days as the radio play-by-play voice of the T-Birds in the 1980s and '90s. Along with serving as the voice of the T-Birds, Bill spent 18 years in marketing and information for the college. He has earned numerous awards during his professional career, including twice being named Wyoming's Sportswriter of the Year by the national association of sportswriters and sportscasters. He was named Rosenthal Outstanding Administrator at Casper College in 1997. In 1993 he was honored by his peers as Communicator of the Year by the National Council for Marketing and Public Relations.
Along with his duties at Casper College, Bill was recently elected to the Wyoming Legislature as State Senator for District 27.
Bill's wife, Robyn, is the Director of Financial Services/Controller for Casper College. They have three children: Nick, Zack and Hailey. |
