Once upon a time, box office sales were the make-or-break bellwether in the movie business. Studios were eager to shepherd their audiences to the big screen, where, the Columbia Journalism Review estimates, they need to bring in $74 million just to break even. But with theater audiences declining, the competition for their eyes on their TVs, laptops and phones has only grown. For many consumers, making a decision on movie night starts with combing online ratings and reviews. Tianjie Deng“Social…

The keys of the piano plunked Mallory Bernstein from White Plains, New York, to Fairbanks, Alaska, to Denver, Colorado. Performing was her passion, and she traveled the country polishing her repertoire, picking up academic degrees as she went. In Denver, however, performing outreach in elementary schools, Bernstein began to change her tune — and ultimately, her career path. “I was really, really moved by these experiences,” says Bernstein (CRTG ’12), who earned a performance certificate and arti…

In 1996, the University of Denver launched its first online program. About 25 students, many of them helping to clean up the contaminated Rocky Flats nuclear manufacturing plant, enrolled to pursue a graduate degree in environmental policy and management through University College. There was no learning management system, such as Canvas, no multimedia content and certainly no video conferencing. All learning and communication took place via email and phone. Twenty-five years later, the virtual c…

Two of the world’s most pressing problems will cross paths this week on the University of Denver campus. “Climate change and democracy, I think, are the two existential questions of our time,” says Fritz Mayer, dean of the Josef Korbel School of International Studies. “There are many issues in the world, but if we don’t solve these two, we’re in real trouble.” On Feb. 10-11, more than 30 of the world’s most thought-provoking politicians, policymakers, journalists, academics and environmentalists…

“This is what cyberstalking a property looks like,” Eric Holt says, and his fingers go to work. With a few strokes of the keyboard and clicks of a mouse, we’re in downtown Miami Beach, Florida, 1,723 miles from the University of Denver campus. The Google Earth satellite view is pristine and comes t…

The University of Denver’s red-brick walkways weave together an intriguing tale, with each offshoot offering a small chapter in DU’s 156-year lifetime. Each building on campus has a story tell — about the growth of the city, the expansion of the school and the evolution of the college experience. W…

Opportunities for hiking, biking and skiing get all the attention, but the real perk of Colorado’s claim to 300 days of sunshine each year? Four seasons of ice cream weather. The Denver area is loaded with locally owned ice cream parlors serving up flavors and experiences you won’t find anywhere els…

Don’t let the sunny skies and back-to-school vibe fool you. Winter will hit Denver before you know it. Not that that’s a bad thing. The Mile High City famously turned down a chance to host the Winter Olympics (in which the University of Denver campus was to serve as the Olympic Village), but that ce…

In front of a sold-out, 320-person crowd in a cavernous airplane hangar, Colin Daugherty walks to a glass lectern. “Woohoo!” he says, grinning shyly, as he kicks off the latest phase of a project he began nearly five years ago, as a student at the Daniels College of Business. The Evening of Hope is Colorado’s biggest event of the year for pancreatic cancer fundraising—a night of mourning, but also of celebration and optimism. Daugherty isn’t a doctor or a researcher, or even a fundraiser by trad…
