Editor’s Note Summer 2026
Last summer when my husband,ÌýLevi Henry (Math’12), and I moved our family from Westminster to Lafayette, Colorado, it was apparent we were in Buffs country.
CU flags, license plates, stickers and gear often decorate our neighborhood. University-related chats are common within the community.Ìý
While there’s a certain excitement about being in proximity to CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó, nothing compares to finding other CU links far from here. I’ll never forget the elation I experienced when I walked into an Airbnb in the tiny town of Kinsale, Ireland, and immediately spotted a poster of campus framed on the wall. It launched lively conversation and connection with my Irish hosts.Ìý
This issue can start talking points of your own. As we continue celebrating 150 years of CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó, read about a few of the research innovations shaping our world, along with stories about the dance program, the beloved Hellems Arts and Sciences building, a visual evidence lab and sustainable grocery shopping.Ìý
Hopefully, this issue sparks memories from your time on campus — or the CU links you’ve created since you left. I’d love to hear about them!
