Jordan’s Bistro & Pub, an Old World-style Irish pub with a collegiate accent, will open mid-March with bangers, rashers and shepherd’s pie and plenty of Harp and Guinness to go with it. The pub is the final piece of the University Lofts project at the northeast corner of Evans Avenue […]
In the spring of 2006, Edward Phillips (BSBA ’06, MS ’06) awoke to this sunrise view of the Ritchie Center, which he photographed from the western edge of DU’s soccer pitch.
Chris Aasted was one of those children who could be counted on to take things apart, just to see how they work. At 24, he’s turned to putting things together, to see if they work. As a graduate student at DU, Aasted is working closely with Rahmat Shoureshi, dean of […]

Q: Which is the best life insurance option: term or permanent? A: Many consumers find life insurance confusing. There are term, indexed, universal, variable and whole life products to choose from, plus a multitude of life insurance companies with their own variations and features. You can buy insurance over the […]
Not long ago, Aaron Huey (BFA ’99) was painting houses and sleeping on people’s couches, earning just enough money to repeatedly quit and travel to obscure and sometimes dangerous spots around the world. No reason; it just felt important. Same with the time he decided to walk across America. And […]
The story of Theresa Chase’s (MA ’90) life seems to be told in two chapters: “before the accident” and “after the accident.” And yet, the thread of who she was to become was present long before that moment. That moment occurred on April 2, 1988, when Chase—32 at the time—was […]
Since he was a child, Dennis Powers (JD ’66) has been captivated by the ocean. Even though he headed to the landlocked state of Colorado to attend the University of Colorado for his undergraduate degree and the University of Denver for his law degree, he maintained his love for the […]
Carl Holmes (MBA ’82) says he owes his success to a freak Southern California snowstorm. In 1987, he was an amateur triathlete in Marina del Rey, Calif., experimenting with supplements that could remove lactic acid (which makes you sore after working out). And he usually took them immediately before he’d […]
The first American song that world-class opera singer Hao Jiang Tian (MA ’87) knew by heart was “Red River Valley,” which was scandalous. Tian grew up during the Chinese Cultural Revolution, working in an electrical boiler factory with 3,000 other young men for more than six and a half years. […]
Whether he’s throwing a tomahawk, weaving a pine needle basket or turning wild gourds into flowers, George Tippin (MSW ’62) teaches lessons that go far beyond a social worker’s usual repertoire. Tippin’s second career as an arts and crafts guru started with the Boy Scouts; he was a scout master […]
Dan and Marty (Martha McGarvey) Benson met on the University of Denver campus in 1967 when Dan’s sisters introduced them. All the girls lived in Johnson-McFarlane Hall, so the Bensons are happy that, despite all of the magnificent changes on campus, their meeting spot still exists. Today the Bensons live […]
For Donald Sturm (LLB ’58), it isn’t enough just to run an interstate banking operation with billions in assets while also overseeing an array of investments and real estate holdings. His real passion, he insists, is giving back, both to his university and his community. And while his financial contributions […]
Growing up in the then-small farming community of Montrose, Colo., I looked forward to our family’s frequent visits to a local used bookstore. Actually, “bookstore” might be making too much of it. The “store” was actually a well-worn singlewide trailer that, oddly, also sold propane. I was a voracious reader […]
Professional engineers solve problems in the real world. At the University of Denver, so do student engineers.
