Heritage Center Exhibit

On 2019, opera singer Wei Wu (MMus鈥13) won a Grammy for his role in the opera 鈥淭he (R )evolution of Steve Jobs.鈥 It was the same year jazz saxophonist Tia Fuller (MMus鈥00) received a Grammy nomination for best jazz instrumental album, the second female solo artist to ever earn one in the category.聽

Both are featured in the CU Heritage Center鈥檚 new exhibit, 鈥淐U Making a Difference,鈥 which honors the lives and accomplishments of a rotating cast of CU luminaries. Also on display are three of the five Nobel Prize medals awarded to CU faculty.聽

The exhibit is located on the third floor of Old Main and is free to the public.聽

In April, Kim Christiansen (Jour鈥84), voice of the Denver International Airport鈥檚 famed train messages, visited the exhibit, which she is featured in.聽

鈥淭he other alumni featured in the exhibit are extraordinary, brilliant and changing the world,鈥 said Christiansen, lead anchor for Denver鈥檚 9News. 鈥淲hen I see their names and faces, I鈥檓 incredibly proud to be a CU grad. It鈥檚 too bad I couldn鈥檛 add 鈥楪o Buffs鈥 as a tagline to my DIA train messages.鈥
