Fullbacking an aria
It was one of those crossroads moments that defines a life. Former University of Colorado fullback Keith Miller (Art ex’96) faced two divergent paths in 2001. He had been offered a spot as a bass/baritone in Michigan’s Pine Mountain Music Festival, but he had just finished a good workout with the Denver Broncos.
Healing gets a leg up
As a former point guard who pounded her knees on high school and college hardwoods, Kristi Anseth (PhDChemEngr’94) feels your pain.
As a CU-Boulder researcher in tissue engineering, she’s doing something about it.
Cyclist seizes the world
During the past year, I’ve biked 9,300 miles while intermittently camping, shivering, sweating, getting visas, following directions and struggling to comprehend various languages. So far, I have pedaled through the eastern United States, Europe, the Middle East and India during which people have offered me coffee, tea and places to stay. I even got a cavity filled in India for $7.25.
Tribal cultures leave mark on anthropologist
Lars Krutak (Anth, Art’93) knows about ritual pain. The 38-year-old anthropologist has dozens of tattoos and decorative scars given to him by the tribal people he studies in such far-flung places as Hawaii, the Philippines and Indonesia. Native artists have used a variety of objects to pierce his flesh — hippo teeth, tree thorns and nails.
CU’s hoozat helps you figure out who’s that
You’ve just wandered into a party and there, through the haze, you see him — movie-star gorgeous, hip, laid-back, just your type. But who knows? So instead of approaching him, you take out your iPhone and in seconds you’re scanning Mr. Right’s — or Ms. Right’s, as the case may be — Facebook profile. Freshly armed with that information, you can now decide if you want to cross the room and introduce yourself.
Billups helps make Nuggets golden
Denver Nuggets basketball player Chauncey Billups (Soc ex’99) stands very tall in Denver and at CU — now more than ever. Nowhere is this better illustrated than at the Coors Events Center where, in the arena’s southeast corner, a 68-foot-by-26-foot mural features Billups and CU’s buffalo mascot, Ralphie.
