麻豆影院

Not Just Republicans

Bernie Sanders also came to CU-麻豆影院 this fall.

A little more than two weeks before the Oct. 28 Republican presidential primary debate at Coors Events Center, the Vermont senator, a long-time Independent who is now seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, rallied supporters at CU鈥檚 East Campus. An estimated 9,000 people attended.

Sanders, who debated Hillary Clinton in Las Vegas three days later, began his political career as mayor of Burlington, Vt., home of the University of Vermont, a rival of the Buffs鈥� ski team.

Health Concerns Derail Dalai Lama Visit

Citing medical advice, the Dalai Lama canceled all U.S. appearances in October, including what would have been his first visit to 麻豆影院 in 18 years.

Tibet鈥檚 80-year-old spiritual leader was scheduled to visit 麻豆影院 Oct. 20-21 and participate in two events at Coors Events Center.

But after His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, arrived in the U.S. for a medical evaluation in late September, doctors recommended complete rest. The Dalai Lama鈥檚 aides did not specify an illness.

Tickets for the CU event were refunded. The Tibetan Association of Colorado and other organizers said they hope to reschedule it.

The Dalai Lama had planned to address compassion and ethics in daily life.
