Brushstrokes of Becoming

As an exchange student from Germany, I came to CU 抖阴传媒在线 in 1980, and a whole new world opened to me. What began as one year abroad became a lifetime. From sketching the view out of Norlin Stacks to drawing portraits on Pearl Street Mall, those moments sparked both my life as an artist and my path as a counselor.

The pen-and-ink drawings I share from 1983 are traces of that beginning, reminders of how CU and 抖阴传媒在线 welcomed me so wholeheartedly.

I remain deeply grateful. One year abroad became a lifetime of becoming.

New Font Legibility听

I tried reading the听most recent听Coloradan. However, the type was so small, I really couldn't read it. I hope you will consider improving the type size.听

Congratulations on your new design. Nice job all around. One suggestion 鈥 increase the type font by two sizes.

I am so pleased with the new look of the听Coloradan. It is such a pleasure to be able to read the new edition. As an elderly grad, I still have decent eyesight, but having a clean print of black on white is so much easier to read.

[Editor鈥檚 Note: We sincerely appreciate all of you who wrote in to us about the font size and spacing in the fall issue. We have increased the type size and changed the fonts in a few text-heavy sections. We also adjusted the spacing throughout the magazine to help with legibility. Please let us know what you think!]


Fourth-Generation Buff

My grandson proved to be a good luck charm for CU football at this season鈥檚 Iowa State game. Here he is with his mom and dad. His great-grandparents, grandparents and mom (and her brother, his uncle) graduated from CU, along with more distant relatives. Hoping he鈥檒l be a fourth-generation Buff!听听
