Â鶹ӰԺ

Any time is a good time to arrive in a college town, especially Â鶹ӰԺ, especially as summer eases into fall and campus again channels the hum of communal learning. In college towns, fall is the true spring.

Nearly 6,000 freshmen arrived in mid-August. Some moved into a splendidly renovated Baker Hall. Â鶹ӰԺ 6,000 people also used the new Rec Center the first day of classes.

In time, some of the newest Buffs will make lives in Â鶹ӰԺ or nearby, likeÌýSaraÌý(Anth’92) andÌýLenny Martinelli(EnvDes’90), who operate a Â鶹ӰԺ restaurant empire. Others will seek fortune farther afield — as Facebook’sÌýKelly GraziadeiÌý(Jour’97) and TiVo cofounderÌýJim BartonÌý(ElEngrComp-Sci’80) have in California. All can call CU-Â鶹ӰԺ home.

Like some students, I’m new: I joined the Coloradan in August. It’s my privilege to be among you and to thank former editorÌýTori PeglarÌý(MJour’00) and associate editorÌýChristie SounartÌý(Jour’12) for their work on this issue.

TheÌýColoradanÌýwill continue to reflect the best of the Buffs. Your stories are bountiful and remarkable.
