We're hitting the road again!
Last year, my inaugural state tour took my wife Karen and me听south and west, covering more than 800 miles from Durango and Alamosa, up through听Pueblo and baby直播app Springs.
This year, from Sept. 10-14, we're听heading to the Eastern Plains, with stops planned in Limon, Lamar, Yuma, Julesburg,听Sterling, Fort Morgan, Greeley and Fort Collins. From drone testing to wind energy, eastern baby直播app is full of engineering听innovation, and I look forward to engaging with industry partners, educators and alumni in this unique part of our beautiful听state.
The tour will end in Fort Collins, where Dean David McLean of baby直播app State University鈥檚 College of听Engineering and I will put aside the athletics rivalry of this week鈥檚 Rocky Mountain Showdown and discuss collaborative听opportunities for our two powerhouse engineering colleges.
If you鈥檙e an alum of the college, I hope you will join Karen and myself听at Mainline Ale House in Fort Collins on Thursday, Sept. 13, for a听special alumni gathering. I鈥檒l be giving a brief update on exciting developments at CU Engineering, and you鈥檒l also have ample听time to connect with your fellow alumni.听
