Double Your Donation to the Local Foundation
The Cheyenne Rotary Club Foundation, founded in 1988, was created exclusively for the benefit of the Cheyenne Rotary Club to enable our Club to support community projects throughout Laramie County.  Projects supported by the Foundation have included music education through the Cheyenne Symphony, the Veterans Center at LCCC, protective equipment for Cheyenne police, and character development books for students.  With your gifts, we can do even more!  When the endowment reaches $1 million, our Club will be able to contribute up to $50,000 per year to local projects.  And this year, not only are your donations matched by a $30,000 challenge gift from Rotary Club funds, because of the CARES Act a larger portion of your donation may also be tax deductible.  Help Rotary make a difference in our community, and donate today!

Cheyenne Supercomputer Update

Cheyenne Supercomputer Update
Nov 18, 2020
Suresh Muknahallipatna, Ph.D.
Cheyenne Supercomputer Update

   

Dr. Suresh Muknahallipatna, Professor and Graduate Coordinator UW-UCAR-NWSC Liaison, Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Univeristy of Wyoming will focus his talk on the use of the second generation supercomputer Cheyenne at NWSC. The presentation will include a discussion on the current supercomputer usage and various project topics by the University of Wyoming faculty and students.  The presentation will also discuss the economic benefits of having access to the Cheyenne supercomputer instead of accessing commercial cloud computing services like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. The talk will conclude on the planned third-generation supercomputer, which is expected to be commissioned by the end of 2021.

STEP - Summer Travel Experience Program
Help to support peace by sponsoring a student for the Summer Exchange Abroad Program this Rotary year! STEP allows students aged between 15 and 19 to experience the challenge and opportunity of a foreign exchange without committing to a full year. “What You Need to Know” summarizes the program and is available on the District’s website at https://rotary5440.org/sitepage/summer-youth-exchange.
 
The program is an easy way to support youth programs in your community. And it’s so easy to sponsor a student. Your club pays nothing to sponsor a student for an exciting summer exchange. You spread the word; your Youth Counselor interviews applicants and their parents, and inspects their home; and you sign some simple forms. That’s it!
 
What about Covid-19? The US student and their family must agree with their exchange sister/brother and their family that it is safe to travel to, and reside in, the exchange country. If either the US or foreign family requests cancellation because of Covid-19, the exchange will be cancelled at no cost to the student.
 
We wish you the best of luck in sponsoring your students this summer. A step-by-step guide to the process is available.  If you have any questions, please call me or email me at District5440.STEP@gmail.com.
 
Yours in Rotary,
