MORE THAN 3,500 PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS AND PARENTS EXPECTED FOR CU’S ADMITTED STUDENT DAY ON APRIL 2
Mar 29th
High school seniors from as far away as Hawaii and Vermont and as close as Boulder and Denver will be on the University of Colorado Boulder campus for Admitted Student Day on Saturday, April 2.
More than 3,500 prospective students and their parents are expected for the daylong event, according to Kevin MacLennan, director of admissions.
“We’re excited to welcome this outstanding group of students and their families to the CU-Boulder campus for Admitted Student Day,” MacLennan said. “This program provides students and their families the chance to explore the academic opportunities at our world-class institution as well as connect with faculty and staff.”
After registering, picking up an agenda and meeting Ralphie, CU’s live mascot, students will attend the Welcome Pep Rally from 8 to 8:40 a.m. in the Coors Events Center. The pep rally will include a welcome by Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano followed by entertainment from CU’s spirit squad, members of the Golden Buffalo marching band and the mascot Chip.
The rest of the day is structured so that attendees can explore academic and student life interests. A full range of activities across campus has been planned in order to give students who have been admitted the opportunity to find if CU is the “right fit” for their college experience, said Cara Ray, a senior assistant director of admissions who organized the event.
Tours will be offered of the campus, residence hall rooms, the Engineering Center, the Koelbel Business Building and selected academic facilities, and the Center for Community will have an open house so guests can explore the many student support services. Participants also will have the opportunity to confirm their intent to enroll, sign up for housing, and talk with financial aid counselors.
A wide variety of information sessions also will be offered throughout the day, including: Navigating Your Academic Experience; Life in the Residence Halls; Academic Support Services; Safety, Security and Student Responsibilities on Campus; and Academic, Cultural and Social Support for Diversity. An information fair will be held from noon to 2:30 p.m. in Coors Events Center where current students associated with clubs, organizations and residential academic programs will be available.
Activities such as recreation center classes, music performances, films and museum open houses also will be available to attendees.
FORMER PRESIDENT OF MEXICO VICENTE FOX TO SPEAK AT CU’S MACKY AUDITORIUM
Mar 28th
Vicente Fox, former president of Mexico, will speak at the University of Colorado Boulder’s Macky Auditorium on Wednesday, April 13, at 7:30 p.m. He is coming to campus at the invitation of the Distinguished Speakers Board, a student organization at CU-Boulder.
Fox will present “Surveying the Geo-Political Landscape” and speak on his perspective on the state of the world. He will touch on the relationship between the United States and Latin America, the role of the United Nations and the promises of globalization, both fulfilled and unfulfilled. There also will be a question and answer session.
Tickets are $1 for students with a valid BuffOne Card. Community tickets are $15 for general admission and $30 for priority seating, and are being sold through Ticketswest.com and local King Soopers locations.
Doors will open at 6:45 p.m. No backpacks or skateboards are allowed inside the building.
“We believe Mr. Fox gives an important voice on the current geopolitical climate,” said Distinguished Speakers Board Chair Punam Chatterjee. “He can provide a new understanding of current economic and social challenges as well as provide his perspective on global leadership. We also believe he will connect with many students, as well as the community, because of his expertise in many fields and because of current events.”
Fox was the president of Mexico from 2000 to 2006. When elected he ended the rule of the Institutional Revolutionary Party. During his term in office he succeeded in controlling inflation and interest rates, and in achieving the lowest unemployment rate in Latin America. He studied business administration at the Universidad Iberoamericana and afterward pursued a Top Management Diploma at the Harvard Business School.
Fox has four adopted children. He was born in Mexico City in 1942 and grew up on San Cristobal Ranch in the municipality of San Francisco del Rincon, in Guanajuato state. Post-presidency he wrote an autobiography, “Revolution of Hope: The Life, Faith and Dreams of a Mexican President,” and travels for public speaking engagements.
“Fox’s experiences as a businessman, educator, politician and leader in a foreign country are attractive to the CU community, which appreciates diverse perspectives,” said Distinguished Speakers Board Public Relations Director Taylor Coughlin.
The Distinguished Speakers Board mission is “to bring speakers of the highest caliber, who will intellectually stimulate the student body and the surrounding community. Ultimately, we hope to inspire people by bringing some of the world’s greatest minds to the University of Colorado Boulder.”
The board is a student-run organization and part of the CU student government. Previous speakers brought to CU-Boulder by the board have included Queen Noor, Thomas Friedman, B.B. King, the Rev. Desmond Tutu, Howard Dean and Karl Rove.
22 Boom and Jann Scott now M-F 9p,7a, midnite

The difference with Scott and 22 Boom is that it is all locally produced. In fact Jann Scott has been producing regular local television for Boulder virtually every since 1989 sometimes in the face often tremendous opposition from local government who often sought to censor Scotts programs or prohibit them altogether. His struggles to remain on the air are legendary around Boulder and in broadcast circles around the state. He’s Boulders very own Jack Parr. Legend has it he drove several station managers, a mayor and several city council members out of Boulder. Those who have ever battled Scott will attest as one former Colorado Daily editor stated:” I’d sooner fight a Hitler SS amoured division than cross Jann Scott”
At channel 22 , a director said ” I know he has a reputation for being a fighter, but maybe that is a good thing. We’ve never seen anything but professionalism and quality programs out of him”

But 22 Boom seems more tamed down than the old Jann Scott Live show on CATV 54 where Scott pulled wild antics to the howling regal of college kids and shock and horror to old folks. One things for sure 22Boom made a Nielsen trend this week with calls coming in again from the likes of J Walter Thompson. Congrats to the whole crew at 22Boom. They deserve it.
Dan Culberson movie reviewer.
The new 22 Boom show has evolved into a price bit cultural phenom. This week 22Boom feature a 30 minute educational program on ” Rick Rolling” which is just hysterical. It comes out on April 1.
22Boom features Scott as host, a Jann Scott Live segment, a tech news segment delivered by a hip young female actor who spoofs the news, a science segment, Movie reviews, a music video. Quite a bit actually. Boulder Valley School district couldn’t be happier with Scott’s 22Boom. In three years they have only sung praises about the shows quality, relativeness and appeal to young people and old alike. Quite a switch from when the city had their paws in every decision.
