Redesigned DU homepage headlines

Wayne Armstrong
branding initiative
A new brand strategy is at the heart of the redesigned DU Web site that launched
Sept. 14.
The homepage (www.du.edu) now has links for different audience groups
and top-level pages that focus on prospective students. But the Web site is just one
component of a larger initiative to bring focus and clarity to the University’s vision to
be a great private university dedicated to the public good.
“This effort is intended to be a logical extension of our vision, values, mission and
goals statements, one that further clarifies them for the University community and
gives them voice for a much broader audience,” Chancellor Robert Coombe wrote in
an August memo to deans and administrators.
“Our goal is to develop greater visibility for DU as an action leader, as an institution
that proactively addresses the great issues of our day,” Coombe wrote. “We need to
tell our story well, with many examples.”
The strategy calls for the University to focus its internal and external communication
on DU’s efforts to improve the human condition. The University community has the
opportunity to validate DU’s “action leadership” with “DU Something 365,” a page on
the new Web site dedicated to sharing stories about the research, scholarly, service
and creative endeavors that provide tangible proof of DU’s positive impact on the
world.
Students, faculty, staff and alumni are invited to submit their own stories and
photos directly to “DU Something 365” by clicking on the “Submit your story” button.
Those submissions also will be routed for possible use on DU Today or in other
campus publications.
The action-leadership message also is on display in new campus light-pole banners
that highlight some of the many ways students and faculty are “DU-ing something” to
improve the human condition. Stories related to the banners appear on DU Today,
DU365 and elsewhere on the DU Web site.

Late DU philanthropist established University’s first fully funded chair


Alumnus Leo Block, a philanthropist who contributed more than $2.5 million to DU, died
Aug. 31. He was 94.
“His energy and intellect belied his age,” says Chancellor Emeritus Dwight Smith. “Leo
was a delightful and generous man to whom we in the DU community will remain indebted.”
Block is the namesake for the Leo Block Alumni Center and the Leo Block Endowed
Chair.
“Simply put, Leo loved DU. He credited DU with giving him an international perspective
Oil portrait of Leo Block by Seymour Simmons III

and a passion for learning,” says Scott Lumpkin, associate vice chancellor in University
Advancement.
Block (BA ’35) met Smith in 1985, when Block attended his 50th reunion at DU.
“He invited me to visit him in San Antonio, an invitation which I accepted, and those visits
continued both there and in Denver,” Smith says.
Block contributed $1 million for the first fully funded chair at the University.
“[The chair] brought a series of visiting professors to DU for 20 years, beginning with
former Colorado Gov. Richard Lamm,” Lumpkin says. Lamm has remained at DU as executive
director for the Institute for Public Policy Studies.
“Because of its timing, this gift and the addition of Lamm to the faculty represented a real
and morale-boosting enhancement for our academic community at a critical juncture in our history,” Smith says.
In 2008, Block permanently assigned the chair to the Josef Korbel School of International Studies.
Block was the founder and owner of Block Distributing Co., now called Republic National Distributing, which became the largest wine and
liquor-distributing outlet in south Texas.

Alumna named first Hispanic president of American Library Association
Camila Alire (MLS ’74) fondly remembers her first experience in a library.
“I was in grade school, and I went with my friend who had a library card,” Alire says. “The first book I ever
checked out was The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss.”
Today, Alire is the first-ever Hispanic to serve as president of the American Library Association (ALA), the oldest
and largest library organization in the world. She was elected this summer to the 2009–10 term by the association’s
65,000-plus members.
“It is such an honor to lead the association,” says Alire, who’s been dubbed by Hispanic Business Magazine as
one of the 100 most influential Hispanics in the country. “And as the first Hispanic ever elected to the ALA presi-

dency, I’m pleased to serve as a role model for minority librarians.”


Alire served as dean of libraries at Colorado State University and the director of libraries at the University of
Colorado at Denver; she currently is an adjunct professor at Simmons College and San Jose State University. She’s
also served as a community college library director, head of a special library and school librarian (K-12). Alire earned
her doctorate in higher education administration from the University of Northern Colorado.
During her presidency Alire plans to advocate for all libraries, ensure all ALA members are prepared to share their libraries’ value and pro-
mote family literacy, especially among minority communities.
“Because of our country’s changing demographics, it’s important that we have a literate nation with people being able to make informed
decisions that affect their everyday lives,” Alire says. “Being literate and becoming library users will also make them lifelong learners. 
Alire says libraries today are indeed still alive and that usage is up, even in the Internet age.
“Google can give you 50,000 responses to your question; a librarian can help you find the answer you need,” she says. “So the role of librar-
ies hasn’t changed, even with the introduction of the Internet. They still play a critical role in helping their users become lifelong learners, whether
the users access their information online, in print or in person.” 
She adds that society can’t underestimate the concept of “library as place.” “Libraries are being used for collaborative learning and group
study as well as a place for quiet study.”

University bike-sharing program gets rolling


Getting around — and off — campus got a little easier Sept. 24 as the University of

Wayne Armstrong
Denver launched a free bicycle-sharing program with high-tech bikes available on request
for all-day use.
The DU Undergraduate Student Government — in partnership with local businesses,
the city of Denver and DU academic departments — launched the bike-lending program,
which allows students, faculty or staff members to check out one of 20 new bikes from
Nelson or Centennial residence halls with just a Pioneer card. The bikes can be used all day
until 7 p.m. and come with a lock and helmet.
The program will be free through the winter and early spring, eventually folding into a
citywide Denver bike-sharing network that will station some 600 bikes at self-service, solar
powered kiosks all over the city. DU is expected to have at least two kiosks on campus.
“It’s really a perfect solution for a lot of students like me who don’t have a bike,” said
student senator Dillon Doyle. “I wouldn’t use a bicycle every day, but if I could just borrow
one, I’d use one once a week to run errands or buy groceries.”
Senior Antoine Perretta, undergraduate student body president, said there had been a
good amount of buzz on campus already and students were eager to get rolling.
The bikes, designed to be durable, safe and easy to operate, sport baskets that can
hold up to 25 pounds, tail lights powered by the motion of the wheels, and seats that adjust
to fit riders with the flick of a lever. Locks are built into the bikes so they can’t get lost or
left behind. Bikes will be kept in specially marked racks outside the residence halls where
they are loaned out.
The program is the product of student involvement. Driven by Zoee Turrill (BA international studies ’09) and Mary Jean O’Malley (BA jour-
nalism, political science ’09) with the student government last year, Doyle and other students have picked up the effort this year. Provost Gregg
Kvistad said student enthusiasm made what was what made the dream a reality. Students raised $50,000 to offset costs.
Kvistad tested out one of the bikes and found it rode “smooth as silk.”
“I hope everyone on campus — that includes faculty and staff — uses these,” he said.

High performance
Engineering student puts her academic pedal to the metal

E llen Classen wasted no time revving her academic

Wayne Armstrong
career into high gear at the University of Denver.
In January 2009, the first-year student set her
sights on a prestigious and highly selective automotive
engineering program in Germany, the cradle of high-
performance car production. Despite the long odds,
she was accepted into the National Science Foundation
(NSF) program before the end of her first academic
year. She was on her way.
“It was a little overwhelming,” she says. “We had
to be there May 28 — my classes weren’t even over —
but all the professors here were so excited for me and
worked with me. I even took one final exam while I was
in Germany.”
Classen, who dreams of a career designing high-
performance automobiles (for Porsche, she hopes), was
one of eight American students selected to participate
in the NSF’s Research Experiences for Undergraduates
program.
“The whole idea is to get undergraduates the
valuable research experiences they’ll need to get into
graduate school,” Classen says.
And the 19-year-old mechanical engineering major
already has her eye on graduate school and beyond.
Engineering Professor Dan Armentrout, who
joined mathematics Professor Richard Ball in writing
letters of recommendation for Classen, says he admired
her determination and ambition when she came to him
with the idea of applying for the NSF program. But he didn’t want her to expect too much at the start. Competing applicants for the
program came from schools like MIT and Cornell.
“She came to me with this great idea to go to Germany and learn about automotive design, but it’s a very difficult program and for
someone who just came to college, it’s a lot to ask,” Armentrout says. “It took me by surprise. But she’s one of those students who takes
the toughest you can give her and asks for more.”
Classen was assigned to a laboratory research project at the Technische Universität Darmstadt (the Technical University of
Darmstadt), south of Frankfurt. There, she was immersed in a computational fluid dynamics program and oversaw 10 super-fast
computers that ran models for a device that would allow for particle flow testing, using automotive soot as a particulate.
The work was demanding, and at times the formulas she worked with overwhelmed the computers, requiring modifications and
adaptation in midstream. But, she says, it also was rewarding and engrossing.
“[It’s] really right on the edge of what a computer can do today,” Classen says. “Being over in Germany and being so close to all the
super cars that I’ve fallen in love with, it was just so exciting to see them and be that close to that work. I’m just even more motivated.”
Classen toured Germany with family for a week after the eight-week program ended; she returned home at the end of July. By
mid-August she was already lined up for core classes in engineering and says she’s a bit disappointed she won’t be taking a mathematics
course this fall.
Now in her second year at DU, Classen says she’s amazed how her life and DU seemed to cross paths at the right time. When she
began searching for a college, she only applied to DU at her mother’s urging, with her eyes on some place far away from Colorado.
Ultimately, a visit to DU’s School of Engineering and Computer Science convinced her to enroll.
“It really was tough for me to decide what I wanted to do. I applied to 11 schools in nine different majors,” she says. “I was really
confused when I started the process. I think math and science is really what interests me the most. Now, I can’t imagine myself anywhere
else.”

H1N1 influenza cases reported on
campus
At least 91 percent of college campuses in the U.S. are
reporting cases of H1N1 influenza, and DU is among them.
In preparation for onset of the disease on campus, DU officials
spent the summer discussing the illness, but they warn the
University community not to be overly concerned about it.
“It’s important for everyone to understand that H1N1 is
receiving a lot of attention right now, but there’s no need to
panic if you or someone you know is diagnosed with the virus,”

The four students interned with Project C.U.R.E., a Denver-based
nonprofit that ships donated medical supplies and equipment to developing
nations. After serving with the organization for a year, Wenner, Fitch, Gerk
and Kloeckner — majors in international studies, business and marketing,
biology, and international studies and Spanish, respectively — decided to act,
rather than just think, globally.
To realize this ambition, the students conceptualized a film about Project
C.U.R.E.’s Clinics program for the organization’s Web site. The program
sends teams of medical professionals abroad to provide free medical care to
communities in developing countries.
Project C.U.R.E staffers gave the idea the green light, and the students
obtained funding for the trip from DU’s Student Scholar Travel Fund. In June,
they traveled to Lima and Pucusana, Peru, accompanied by a 10-person
team of volunteer doctors and nurses.
“The team participants were thrilled to have the students on this trip,”
says Jean Feist, director of C.U.R.E. Clinics.
On the first day of the trip, the medical team held a health fair in Lima’s
Pamplona Alta slum, which is home to 300,000 of Peru’s poorest people.

Brotherly love
Lewises inseparable in name and much more

T heir looks are about the only

Rich Clarkson & Associates


thing they don’t have in
common. Rob is white and 6-foot,
7-inches tall. Kyle is black and
5-foot, 11-inches tall.
They have the same last
name: Lewis. They both love
basketball and play for the
University of Denver Pioneers.
They’re both Coloradans. They
both recently took up golf. They’re
both junior finance majors. Both
had internships this summer in
finance. And they’re roommates.
“We decided since we have all
our classes together and we play
basketball that we should room
together,” says Rob, a forward
from Colorado Springs.
“We do everything together,”
Kyle adds. “We eat together, work
out together, play ball together.
We’re always together.”
“Some people do call us
brothers,” Rob says, “but when
they see us, well, they know that’s Kyle Lewis Rob Lewis
not really the case.”
Undoubtedly as roommates, they’ll get to know each other even better. For example, Kyle has learned Rob snores and sleepwalks. In
fact, Rob says this summer he sleepwalked right out of his bedroom, locked the door behind him and ended up sitting on a table in the living
room. “I had to go down to the front desk and get them to let me back in my room at 3:30 in the morning,” Rob says with a deep chuckle.
Kyle says he can’t top Rob’s sleepwalking when it comes to strange roommate habits. “I guess we’ll have to wait and see if I develop
something in the future.”
The pokes are, of course, all in jest. “We pick on each other sometimes, but that’s just the way we are. It’s all brotherly love,” Kyle says.
Kyle credits their closeness to having survived the rigors of Division I sports with regular 6 a.m. wake-up calls and daily three-hour
practices. “We started out together and there were seven of us. Now we’re the only two left,” he says. “We fought through it all and have
survived.”
Joe Scott, the men’s head basketball coach, admits the two “both have had their troubles, but they came here at the same time and have
been part of building the program and have been good from day one.”
“You couldn’t ask for two better guys,” Scott says. “They love the program, they love the game, they love their school and they’re
smart. Over the last two years they’ve played a big role in making this program better. Now for this year, we have to see how much more
improvement we’re going to make, but with the kinds of kids these two are, I like our chances of continuing to get a lot better.”
This summer the two even had similar internships, both in finance. Rob worked at Ryan Financial, a financial planning firm in the
Denver Tech Center. “It was really different, but I learned a lot,” he says. “I’d sit in on meetings and take notes and write down words I didn’t
even know — I had to look them up online after the meeting.”
And Kyle worked at Lazarus Investment Partners in Cherry Creek. “I had a great time; it was a true learning experience,” he says. “I liked
that there’s so much to learn, and I like the competition.”
Rob says there are parallels between business and basketball. “They’re both very much about hard work and teamwork.”
And Kyle agrees, of course.
