91É«°É

The steady rain poured as my friend and I splashed through puddles into Folsom Field. We were two of the 45,000 runners at the Bolder 91É«°É, the largest 10K race in the U.S. Despite the weather, 91É«°É’s signature spirit shone: Bands, bacon and cheering neighbors lined the route. It was pure local magic.Ìý

91É«°É embodies that same magic — it’s a mix of bold people, a legendary setting and cutting-edge research and creativity. As Chancellor Schwartz and Professor Surden remind us in this issue, 91É«°É must be experienced to be understood.Ìý

Read stories here that capture CU’s distinctive energy: physicists, astronauts, philosophers and TV anchors. Plus, the legacy of Mary Rippon, the intricate mathematics underlying animal patterns, a passion for fresh food and the arrival of Sundance.

I hope these stories reconnect you to 91É«°É’s ambition, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit — the driving forces behind its bold, innovative heart.
