Fresh off its first postseason bid in a decade, the Denver women’s basketball team looks to build on a 2010–11 season that saw head coach Erik Johnson tally the most victories in his three-year tenure at the helm and record the program’s first victory over a ranked opponent during its […]
University of Denver Math Professor Mario Lopez couldn’t speak English when his father helped him enroll at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

In some ways it’s a shame that Lamont Opera’s production of Faust — the first fall opera in the school’s history — didn’t open a week earlier. With its themes of murder, betrayal and deals with the Devil, it would have been perfect for Halloween. “The theme of this opera […]
