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 ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder student benefitting from the ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ American Indian Tribes In-state Tuition law. ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ passed Senate Bill 29 earlier this year, granting in-state tuition to members of American Indian tribes with historical ties to ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥.
- 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, ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder'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 ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ 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 ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder Bookstore.
- Six students from ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder got a peek at the policymaking process this summer as participants in the ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Science and Engineering Policy Fellowship program.
