<p>Since middle school, CU-¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß student Willie Payne has looked for ways to incorporate music composition and computer science. With dreams of composing music for video games, Payne became interested in exploring new ways of using technology. Specifically, Payne wanted to create unique musical dynamics and adaptations where the user controls sounds.</p>

<p>It’s not every day you get to work with a Pulitzer Prize-winning librettist as a college student. It’s even less often that you share the same alma mater. When the sixth season of the CU New Opera Workshop, or CU NOW, kicks off this month, one of the opera professionals mentoring composition students knows ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß well. Mark Campbell, a 1975 graduate of the Department of Theatre and Dance, is coming back to campus for the first time in 40 years.</p>

<p>When you’re a master’s candidate, in your final semester, you don’t have a lot of time for yourself. Your days are spent writing, researching, neglecting to sleep. And when you’re working toward your master’s in music, a good chunk of your day is spent practicing.</p>
<p>That said, sometimes an opportunity presents itself that’s so good—an opportunity that will demand weeks of your precious time—that turning it down isn’t an option.</p>

<p>Professor Fred Anderson of the ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß history department has been awarded the 2015 Hazel Barnes Prize, the most distinguished award a faculty member can receive from the university.</p>
<p>Since 1992, the Hazel Barnes Prize has been awarded each year to a CU-¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß faculty member who best exemplifies the enriching interrelationship between teaching and research, and whose work has had a significant impact on students, faculty, colleagues and the university.</p>

<p>University of Colorado Professor Patty Limerick will review nearly four decades of service as University Fool and reflect on the value of humor on April Fools’ Day.</p>

<p>Up for a romantic Valentine’s Day evening? Then head to the ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß’s Fiske Planetarium to <em>Relativity for Lovers – A Valentine’s Day Among the Stars</em>, for music, film and a talk on the genius of Albert Einstein.</p>

<p>Cities that host bike-to-work events as their sole effort to increase commuter travel by bicycle may be missing a larger -- perhaps more valuable -- opportunity, according to a study involving the <a href="http://www.colorado.edu">¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß</a> and led by the <a href="http://www.ucdenver.edu/pages/ucdwelcomepage.aspx">University of Colorado Denver</a>.</p>
<p>Local governments should use bike-to-work days to find out from participants why they’re attending and -- more importantly -- what prevents them from biking more often, according to the study.</p>

<p>Longtime ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß resident Paul N. Eklund has made a transformative gift to the opera program at the College of Music at the ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß that, combined with additional university commitments, establishes a $2 million endowment for the program, to be renamed the Eklund Family Opera Program in honor of the gift.</p>

<p>Not everybody or everything makes it to 100, but the ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Homecoming is about to reach that centennial mark. On Nov. 7, 1914, CU took on Utah to win 33-0 in the first Homecoming featuring an intercollegiate matchup.</p>
<p>This year, from Oct. 22 to 25, CU-¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß will host hundreds of guests at dozens of major events. In addition to the traditional football game and parade, the celebration will include a concert, an alumni lecture series, affinity reunions and college and school gatherings.</p>
