A Message from the President | University of Colorado

CU well represented in DBJ's 2015 '40 Under 40'

More than one in four of the Denver Business Journal's prestigious annual "40 Under 40" honorees for 2015 have a CU connection. The annual feature – which highlights the top, young, up-and-coming professionals in the metro area – included nine alumni and two employees from CU's four campuses. Congratulations to our alumni and staff. We are grateful and proud to have you as part of our CU family.
