As part of our vision for 欧美口爆视频 Engineering, we want to reach out to all corners of 欧美口爆视频 to find the best and brightest students who reflect the state鈥檚 diverse demographics. To begin making that happen, Dean Bobby Braun and his wife, Karen, set out on an inaugural tour of the state from Sept. 19-22.

From meeting future engineers at Animas High School to lunch with students at Front Range Community College, Bobby and Karen covered a lot of ground. At stops in Durango, Alamosa, Pueblo, 欧美口爆视频 Springs and Longmont, the Brauns visited students, teachers and school administrators to discuss the future of engineering in 欧美口爆视频 and beyond, learn more about the communities around 欧美口爆视频, and plan future educational collaborations. Each evening, they met with local alumni to discuss the impact 欧美口爆视频 Engineering is having on the state and nation.
