About half of all CU聽Boulder alumni live in聽Colorado, no surprise聽for a flagship public聽university in a thriving,聽scenic part of our country.聽Many alums started聽in Colorado and stayed,聽others sank roots after聽graduation, won over聽by opportunity or the聽majesty of life in the聽Rockies.
The other half of our聽nearly 300,000 alumni聽spread and cluster聽around the United聽States primarily (see聽map, pages 21-22), but聽also in distant places聽and far corners of our聽vast world.
This issue takes you聽beyond Colorado and聽the domestic concerns聽of the United States.聽You鈥檒l meet 骋补测濒别听厂尘颈迟丑 (Engl鈥�78), who聽leads the U.S. response聽to urgent humanitarian聽crises worldwide, and聽you鈥檒l see Cuba up聽close in a photo essay聽by Glenn Asakawa聽(Jour鈥�86). You鈥檒l also聽see a global icon in CU聽headgear 鈥� the Dalai聽Lama came to campus聽in June.
Through your web of聽CU friends 鈥� past, present聽and future 鈥� the rest聽of the world is closer聽than you鈥檇 think.聽
