Former NFL Player & Super Bowl Champion @salaams_from_68 and I applaud @CUBoulder, @CUToddSaliman for their leadership in bringing Coach @DeionSanders & incredible athletes like @ShedeurSanders to our community. More on their impact for all students: coloradosun.com/2023/01/12/c…

Opinion: CU is lowering the obstacles to incoming transfer students, and that’s a good thing

And that's a good thing, not only for the football team, but for non-athlete students, who can't afford to have coursework credits rejected.

.@slaband, president of @COSucceeds, kicks off a series on building world-class #CTE programs with the story of one Colorado engineering student and the promise of high-quality CTE: gadf.ly/2SyqqIz

Career and technical education will make agile learners America's future

Seventeen-year-old Sandra can’t wait for school to start each day. Perhaps that’s because her school day looks nothing like what most of us envision a classic high school schedule to be.

The "Age of Agility" is going to require schools to be more flexible, too—that's why #CTE programs are so valuable for high school students. @slaband gadf.ly/2SyqqIz
