Selig moved to Laramie, Wyoming to accompany her husband teaching at the University of Wyoming College of Law; the Museum of Natural History Director, Richard Fiske, transferred Selig to the director's office to carry out her new duties in Wyoming, while Ann Kaupp assumed Selig's duties as acting head of the Anthropology Outreach Office.
