Hoards of prospective students enjoy Open House
Prospective student families from as far away as Missouri converged on the Auraria Event Center Nov. 6 to explore the offerings at the University of Colorado Denver. “It was very successful,” says Barbara Edwards, director of admissions. “Attendees were very pleased with the event.” What to give for the holidays? Life!
The holiday season has always been a time for giving. And one gift that is free might well be most priceless: the gift of life. Six times a year, Kelly Young, student health insurance coordinator at UCD downtown, and Corrie Santos, her assistant, work with Bonfils Blood Center to meet the need for blood.
