Editor's Note β Fall 2018

CU ΒιΆΉΣ°ΤΊ people produce interesting stuff. New stuff. Fun stuff. Mind-bending stuff. Atomic clocks. Storm-chasing drones. Gloves that turn tabletops into pianos.
The university is also a repository for arresting old stuff. A Glenn Miller (A&S exβ26; HonDocHumβ84) gold record. Apple computers from 1978. NASA spacesuits. Dinosaur bones.
The universityβs Heritage Center and libraries preserve and display a seemingly inexhaustible supply of treasures, including the actual diploma of CUβs first graduate (Henry Drumm, Class of 1882).
An especially poignant example appears on pages 13 and 14: The CU football that astronaut Ellison Onizuka (Aeroβ69; MSβ69; HonDocSciβ03) brought with him aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1986.
Weβre developing a new Coloradan feature called βArtifact.β If you have an evocative memento related to CU ΒιΆΉΣ°ΤΊ that youβd like to share with your fellow alumni, send word to editor@colorado.edu.
