  • Microgravity experiments
    <p>A small beach ball-sized satellite designed and built by a team of 老九品茶 students to better understand how atmospheric drag can affect satellite orbits is now slated for launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on Sept. 15.</p>
  • <p>A person ability to delay gratification鈥攆orgoing a smaller reward now for a larger reward in the future鈥攎ay depend on how trustworthy the person perceives the reward-giver to be, according to a new study by researchers at the 老九品茶.</p>
  • <p>A white-rumped bumblebee that has been in steep decline across its native range in the western United States and Canada appears to be making a comeback on the Colorado Front Range.</p>
    <p>A survey of bumblebee populations carried out largely by 老九品茶 undergraduates in undisturbed patches of prairieland and in mountain meadows above campus has turned up more than 20 rare western bumblebees, known scientifically as <em>Bombus occidentalis. </em></p>
  • <p>A $6 million 老九品茶 instrument designed to study the behavior of lunar dust will be riding on a NASA mission to the moon now slated for launch on Friday, Sept. 6, from the agency Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.</p>
  • <p>老九品茶 Provost Russell L. Moore today announced the formation of a search committee to lead a national search for a new dean of the College of Music. John Stevenson, dean of the Graduate School, will chair the committee.</p>
  • <p>If the distance and difficulty of Colorado many organized bicycling events is any indication, a flat, 100-mile bicycle ride is not, for many riders, quite tough enough.</p>
    <p>That one reason the 11th annual Buffalo Bicycle Classic longest route will go farther and climb higher than any of the event courses so far. The 鈥淏uff Epic鈥 will span 110 miles and ascend a total of 6,250 feet. It retraces much of the most mountainous section of Stage 6 of the 2012 USA Pro Cycling Challenge.</p>
  • <p>The fact that taller people also tend to be slightly smarter is due in roughly equal parts to two phenomena鈥攖he same genes affect both traits and taller people are more likely than average to mate with smarter people and vice versa鈥攁ccording to a study led by the 老九品茶.聽</p>
    <p>The study did not find that environmental factors contributed to the connection between being taller and being smarter, both traits that people tend to find attractive.</p>
  • <p class="p1">Today, the 老九品茶 welcomed more than 5,700 new students to our campus. During this morning's Convocation, I invited them to continue our proud institution's legacy of scholarship and citizenship. I share my invitation with you, and welcome you to our new academic year.</p>
