Sustainability & Social Change
In 1976, a small group of passionate CU ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ students ran a DIY recycling operation out of two decommissioned military trailers. Now, 50 years later, CU ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ is celebrating the anniversary of campus recycling: a program that has evolved with the times and remains a powerful example of the partnership and collaboration that make real change possible.
Red sunflowers are reaching toward the sky across ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½â€”on campus, in community gardens and in backyards—planted months ago with seeds shared through CU ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½â€™s One Seed program. The blooms arrive in a fitting moment as CU ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ celebrates its 150th anniversary.Ìý

Vine Deloria, Jr.
Deloria was a giant in the realm of American Indian policy. From 1964 to 1967, Deloria served as the executive director for the National Congress of American Indians, reviving the organization and laying the foundation for its contemporary prominence. As a tenured professor of political science at the University of Arizona from 1978 to 1990, Deloria established the first master’s degree program in American Indian Studies. He joined the University of Colorado faculty in 1990, where he taught until his retirement in 2000. During his tenure at CU ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½, Deloria was affiliated with Colorado Law and the departments of history, ethnic studies, religious studies, and political science.
