ItÂ’s a good time to be graduating with a degree in business – especially in Colorado. "As the job market goes, this is as good as it gets," said Ann Stringfellow, director of career development and employer relations at the College of Business and Administration at CU-Â鶹ӰԺ. Stringfellow says local and national job prospects are plentiful for both graduate and undergraduate business students.

This year he taught the basic courses in the law of contracts to entering students and the advanced course in agency and partnership law.

Adult literacy students in the city of Â鶹ӰԺ’s "Learning to Read" program are learning more than reading and writing this spring – theyÂ’re learning to send electronic mail and log onto the Internet as well. A new service-learning project of the linguistics department at the University of Colorado at Â鶹ӰԺ pairs CU-Â鶹ӰԺ undergraduates with adult literacy students, augmenting the assistance provided by their regularly assigned tutors.
