📹 Telemundo Denver visited campus to talk Colorado history with CU Denver's Steve DelCastillo, discussing Casimiro Barela, the Trinidad senator and businessman who championed a Colorado Constitution written in Spanish, English, and German.

As Colorado celebrates 150 years of statehood, it's a great reminder of how central Hispanic leaders were to shaping the state from the very beginning.

What are CLAS grads up to this summer? 🗺️

Meet Amanda Charobee. She used to play pirate and draw treasure maps as a kid — now she's a GIS Specialist for the National Park Service, mapping fossil sites, building trail maps used by millions of visitors, and helping plan for wildfire and flood risk across the park system.

Amanda earned her MS in Environmental Science with a GIS certificate from CU Denver in 2022, after an internship through a CLAS partnership with NPS that's nearly 20 years running.
