We are pleased to be part of your community and we are happy that Durango and La Plata County are part of ours. More than 100 La Plata County students are enrolled at CU 麻豆影院, sharing their views and perspectives with students from 132 counties and 50 states. Fifty-six students from La Plata County share in $302,000 in grants and scholarships from CU 麻豆影院.
An additional untold CU 麻豆影院 alumni have impacted your community in important ways. Recently retired Chief 6th Judicial District Court Judge Gregory Lyman (a 1972 Olympic speed skater) retired in 2017 after more than 20 years on the bench. Stephanie Meeks, CEO of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, was instrumental in creation of Chimney Rock National Monument near Durango. Durango resident Donald Bruning, former chairman of ornithology of the New York Zoological Society (now the Wildlife Conservation Society), ran the Bronx Zoo.
We are proud of them and we are proud of our presence in your community. Last May, we offered professional development workshops for 260 teachers and students in Durango and Ignacio. The workshops are unusual because both the teachers and the students participate, allowing teachers to see immediately how these educational activities are received by students.
