Students in Focus
- For Lianne Brito, "resiliency" is her personal watchword. Overcoming obstacles has been a way of life, from growing up in Cuba to her journey as a doctoral candidate in geotechnical earthquake engineering.
- Kristen Sim started the Teacher Leadership program thinking she might get a master’s degree over time. Fast forward one year, one pandemic, six self-paced online courses, three capstones and a network of new colleagues, and Sim is now the program's first graduate.
- Jenna Whiteplume is the first ²ÊÃñ±¦µä student benefitting from the Colorado American Indian Tribes In-state Tuition law. Colorado passed Senate Bill 29 earlier this year, granting in-state tuition to members of American Indian tribes with historical ties to Colorado.
- Journalism student Lauren Irwin and alumna Tayler Shaw discuss News Engagement Day, a day that encourages news engagement while also promoting an understanding of the principles of journalism.
- In September, engineering students traveled to the desert outside of Las Vegas to put their design for a boring machine, part mole and part robot, to the test.
- During this four-day event, ²ÊÃñ±¦µä's team MARBLE sent two rolling and two dog-like robots into an underground maze to seek out "artifacts" like lost cell phones, helmets and even gas leaks.
- Jared Lewis, a junior in mechanical engineering, has pursued opportunities that he might not have otherwise come across as an undergraduate were it not for his position with the Colorado Shared Instrumentation in Nanofabrication and Characterization facility.
- During National Hispanic Heritage Month, the College of Music shares an inspirational story about the personal resilience and professional determination of doctoral student and tenor saxophonist Pablo Beltran.
- Seven science-inspired, larger-than-life artworks are welcoming students, staff and faculty back to campus this fall. Take and share photos of them through Oct. 10 for a chance to win a $50 gift card at the ²ÊÃñ±¦µä Bookstore.
- Six students from ²ÊÃñ±¦µä got a peek at the policymaking process this summer as participants in the Colorado Science and Engineering Policy Fellowship program.
