John Moore, theater critic for The Denver Post, reads his part during DU’s

production of The Laramie Project: 10 Years Later, an epilogue to the original

off-Broadway play The Laramie Project. The project paid tribute to gay

University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard, who was lured from a

Laramie bar, tortured and left for dead in 1998. DU was one of the many

theaters around the world that simultaneously performed the epilogue on

Oct. 12, the anniversary of Shepard’s death. Local luminaries joined DU faculty

and staff in the staged reading, including Moore, DU Provost Gregg Kvistad,

Gov. Bill Ritter and Denver-area stage actors.

DU scores high marks on green report card

The University o Denver hit the books last year on sustainability,

and this month’s “Green Report Card” shows the rewards o hard

work.

The 2010 Sustainable Endowments Institute’s College

Sustainability Report Card gives DU a B-plus grade, an

improvement over last year’s B-minus. The higher grade

stems rom improvements in several categories, including en-

dowment transparency, administrative leadership and com-

mitment to combating climate change.

Lyndsay Agans, chair o the DU Sustainability Council, says

she’s happy with the grade but says there is room or improvement.

DU dropped a grade in the “green building” category despite a

number o new buildings recognized as “green” by nationally accepted

building standards. Tom McGee, DU’s energy engineer, says the reason or

the drop may be due to some reporting mandates that will be rectied this year.

Regionally, DU was a strong perormer on the report. The top rating in the Rocky

Mountain Region went to the University o Colorado, which earned an A-minus. DU’s B-plus

tied or second with Colorado College. Further down the list, University o Colorado-Colorado

Springs, University o Montana-Missoula and University o Utah rated Bs. Colorado State Univer-sity earned a C-plus and the Colorado School o Mines trailed with a D-plus. The lowest-rated

school in the region is Brigham Young University, with a D-minus.

The institute proled 332 schools through 48 indicators — including building assessments,

recycling programs and endowment investment policies — to create the ratings. The institute is a

special project o the Rockeeller Philanthropy Advisors and is based in Cambridge, Mass.

New program helps undergrads explore Denver

Denver oers many cultural and scientic acilities, and now DU undergraduate students can

explore some o the city’s gems or ree.

The new Explore Denver program provides ree tickets to undergraduates or the Denver

Art Museum, the Denver Zoo, the Denver Botanic Gardens and the Denver Museum o Nature

and Science. The program also oers deeply discounted tickets to Denver Center or the Per-

orming Arts perormances. For instance, tickets to the musical Wicked are available or $10.

Explore Denver is an initiative o DU’s Undergraduate Student Government — ormerly

the AUSA Senate — and the Student Comptroller’s oce, and the tickets are unded by the

student activity ee. The Undergraduate Student Government has allocated $30,000 or the

program this year.

“Part o being a student at DU is enjoying what Denver has to oer and being an active par-

ticipant in the lie o the city,” says Carl Johnson, director o student programming and Greek lie.“There is so much to do here, it’s just a matter o choosing what to do.”

“This program is a great and inexpensive way or students to get o campus and enjoy the

many attractions that the city o Denver has to oer,” says Antoine Perretta, president o the

Undergraduate Student Government. “Students will be able to broaden their cultural experi-

ences by attending shows, visiting the museums, and enjoying the outdoors.”

Faculty members are encouraged to utilize the ree tickets or class outings.

Tickets are available at the Explore Denver ticketing counter on the rst foor o Driscoll

North. The ticket desk is open Monday–Friday rom 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Menu options near DU

grow with two new

restaurants

Holy guacamole! Illegal Pete’s is open at

last.

The Boulder-born taco and burrito chain

that has struggled or nearly two years to set up

shop in a ormer pizza parlor at the intersection

o East Evans Avenue and Williams Street

started serving customers Oct. 8.

“We’ve been waiting or this since the end

o our reshman year,” says DU senior Diana

Hocker.

“I think it’ll be a great spot or people to

come and hang out,” says Jamie Gingrass, an

international business major who ancies the

vegetarian burrito bowl. “It’s casual and laid

back. They’ll attract a lot o students.”

David Berenson, chie operating ocer o

Illegal Pete’s, hopes she’s right.“Pete’s has been in business or 14 years,

and this restaurant represents everything we

know about how to design a restaurant and

how to run a restaurant,” Berenson says.

It’s been a long time coming. Company

owner Pete Turner has ve other healthy

restaurants in Denver and Boulder, but he

struggled to get nancing when the recession

dried up credit. It was only ater President Obama

goaded the Small Business Administration in the

spring that nancing began to loosen.

Once a loan was secured, Turner began

a major overhaul o the 55-year-old buildingat 1744 E. Evans Ave., including roo, utilities,

fooring and a nity garage-style pass-through

rom the bar to an outdoor seating area.

Turner’s bid to open the business became

something o a race ater Noodles & Company

announced it was taking over a ormer

Blockbuster store across the street and would

open in October.

Pete’s ended up winning. Noodles opened

its 1737 E. Evans Ave. restaurant on Oct. 14.

Berenson, ironically a ormer vice president

o the 200-store, Broomeld-based Noodles

chain, welcomes the budding competition.“We meet dierent needs by and large,

once you get past hunger,” he says. “Besides,

there’s a certain synergy that happens when

there are [dining] options in a neighborhood.

It may be that they’ll have dinner at Noodles

then come over here or a beer aterward. And

that’s great. They’re a great company.”

Coombe says University is weathering financial

storm with ‘sacrifice’

The economic condition o the nation is still trying the resiliency o the University

Chancellor Robert Coombe said in his Oct. 2 Convocation address to aculty and sta.

“I we bend but don’t break, they are times o extraordinary opportunity,” Coombe

said.

He said the University nished scal 2009 with a positive operating margin and predicted

DU will stay on track or another balanced budget this year. Coombe attributed DU’s good

nancial ooting to a combination o budget cuts, a moratorium on salary increases in 2010

and last winter’s realignment — in which DU sta was reduced by 122 positions. The u

impact o realignment, he said, will be elt in the current year and years to ollow.

O the money saved this year, more than $4.5 million has gone to support increase

in student nancial aid or undergraduate and graduate students. Another $3.5 million o the realignment unds were used to support new aculty positions and ll some essentia

positions let vacant ater some sta members took voluntary buy-outs as part o realignment

Coombe explained. The rest o the saved unds were used to hold down tuition increases

While Coombe spent time addressing the University’s nancial position, he also took

time to highlight the University’s accomplishments. Fall enrollments or the University tota

more than 12,000 students, greater than in any year since World War II. Coombe cal led the

quality o students “unabated,” adding that nearly hal o the rst-year students were in the

top 10 percent o their high school classes.

Business professor offers hope, advice for transitioning baby boomers

During times o lie transition, baby boomers should ocus on enhancing their skills and

celebrating existing strengths, says Karen Newman, a Daniels College o Business manage-

ment proessor.

For many boomers, the economic conditions acing the country are necessitating a re-

turn to the job market or a postponement o ret irement plans. Rather than despair, Newman

says, boomers should have hope and see this time as an opportunity or sel improvement.

“This will pass, and at this time next year, we will be having a very dierent conversa-

tion,” Newman advises. “For people looking at postponing their retirement, they should hangin there, take time to brush up on their skills and do a personal inventory o strengths and

weaknesses. As soon as the initial shock o the need or change passes, they will be better

able to deal with it.”

However, some boomers postponing retirement or re-entering the workorce may ace

a challenge to convince employers o their continued value.

“Boomers command higher salaries, and their health care costs more,” says New-

man. “But the loyalty and reliability that they oer employers more than compensates or

their expense.”

Newman recommends boomers acing career-related challenges invest in themselves

and their own capabilities.

“Do an inventory, and decide what you are good at,” Newman says. “Don’t be shy

about telling people what you can do — not what you can’t or won’t do.”

She also recommends boomers make sure they are up to date on the latest knowledge and sotware in their elds, such as Twitter and

LinkedIn.

There are 76 million baby boomers in the country, Newman says, and there is strength in that number even in a down economy.

“We have been social change agents since day we were born,” she says. “As a result, we collectively are accustomed to reorming th is country

to cope with us, and to benet rom us.”

Karen Dowd, executive director o the Suitts Center or Career Services at the Daniels College o Business, agrees.

“I do believe the boomers are going to once again lead the way. They are the rst generation to have the luxury o extending their career lives

indenitely and our notions o the ‘right’ age to retire just got more nebulous — courtesy o the recent economic meltdown,” Dowd says.

Along with career consultant Caela Farren, Newman has coauthored a book about lie transitions o all sorts. While targeted to boomers, the

as-yet unnamed book oers tips to anyone who is acing transition such as retiring, re-entering the workorce, changing careers or marital status

relocating, increasing community involvement or starting a new hobby.

DU professor translated book by 2009 Nobel Prize winner

Sieglinde Lug, a DU proessor emerita, helped introduce the writing o 2009 Nobel literature prize

winner Herta Müller to English-speaking countries.

Lug translated Müller’s Nadirs (University o Nebraska Press, 1999) rom German to English. Müller

a German author, was awarded the prize Oct. 8.

“It’s really wonderul that a book that is so powerul will get more attention now,” Lug says.

Nadirs is based on Müller’s childhood experiences in Romania. She describes a troubled lie where

violence and corruption are prevalent under the oppression o the state.

Lug made nal revisions to the book while she was teaching a Techniques o Translations course atDU. She mentions our o her students in the aterward. Since the announcement o the Nobel Prize

Lug’s received e-mails rom some o those students.

“The students were quite helpul in making suggestions,” she says. “It is wonderul that they heard

about this.”

Lug taught German, comparative literature and women’s studies at the University o Denver rom

1978 to 2005. She acted as the director o the women’s studies program rom 1995–99.

With credits on some of the biggest movies of the past 15

years — including The Sixth Sense, Rush Hour, Shanghai Noon

and Bruce Almighty — Roger Birnbaum (attd. 1968–71) has made

his mark in Hollywood. He returned to his alma mater Oct. 2–3 as

a keynote speaker at DU’s Alumni Symposium, which gives alumnithe chance to participate in classes taught by University faculty.

More than 250 alums participated in this year’s symposium.

Birnbaum attributes much of his success to his time at DU

— it was as president of the Board of Governors, a student group

that brought speakers and musicians to campus, that he was first

bitten by the entertainment bug. He later held vice president

positions at A&M and Arista records, which led to similar jobs in

the film industry at United Artists and 20th Century Fox. In 1998,

Birnbaum co-founded the production, finance and distribution

company Spyglass Entertainment.

We asked Birnbaum more about his star-studded career.

Q What exactly does a movie producer do?

A If there’s an analogy to sports, a producer of a film is pretty

much the general manager of a team. The way it usually works

is there is a piece of material that a producer has developed, and

he brings the material to a studio and says, “I would like to make

this movie.” If they like the material then they’ll ask, “How much

do you think it will cost, can you put a budget together?” If the

budget is something that sounds reasonable to the studio, they’ll

say, “Let’s go find a director and some stars.”

Q We keep hearing how the industry’s focus has shifted

to a film’s opening weekend gross — have you seen that

change during your years as a producer?

A Yes, because it’s very expensive to open a movie. You can

make a $35 million movie and still have to spend $50 million [on

advertising] to get to the first weekend. And when there are six

other movies in the marketplace, if [your film] doesn’t catch fireright away, it’s not going to.

Q What’s the movie you learned the most from as you

were making it?

A My Cousin Vinny. At that point I was the president of 20th

Century Fox and I was making two movies at the same time.

One of them was My Cousin Vinny, and the other was a film

called Come See the Paradise. And Come See the Paradise was being

made by Alan Parker, who is a very well-known, Academy Award-

winning director of films like Midnight Express and Fame. And he’s

making this movie for me, Come See the Paradise, which is abou

the American internment camps during World War II, where the

Japanese were sent.

I’m looking at the dailies of Come See the Paradise, and I’m

thinking, “Wow, this is really beautiful, this is really important

— this is great.” And I’m looking at My Cousin Vinny, which looks

not funny, a little over the top, and sloppily made. And then the

movies are done, and Come See the Paradise is boring and just does

not really work emotionally for me as I thought it might, and My

Cousin Vinny, regardless of how over the top and how sloppily it

was made, was hysterical and became a big hit. I realized, “You

know what? You can’t really know what a movie is going to be unti

you’re done with it.” — Greg Glasgow

Executive MBA

program ranked

among world’s best

The Financial Times ranked the

Daniels College o Business’ Ex

ecutive MBA Program as one o the

top EMBA programs in the world

According to the Times’ 2009 EMBA

rankings released Oct. 18, Daniel

ranked No. 85.

The Daniels EMBA Program is

an 18-month curriculum designed o

students with 10 years o signican

proessional experience rom small

medium and large organizations

entrepreneurial start-ups and

nonprot organizations.

“The working proessional

in our EMBA program learn how

to innovate even in the midst ouncertainty and change,” say

Christine Riordan, dean o the

Daniels College o Business.

This is the second consecu

tive year Daniels made the Financia

Times EMBA rankings. In 2008, Dan

iels ranked 90th.

The annual rankings are

compiled using data rom two sets

o surveys: one completed by alumn

who graduated rom their program

three years ago and another b

business school EMBA directorsThe methodology measures salary

career progression, diversity and

aculty research.

Daniels was the only Colorado

school on the list.

Barbara Kreisman, an assistan

dean who oversees the Executive

MBA Program, knows why the

program is highly rated.

“It’s a highly selective

academic program or experienced

proessionals, tailored to the needs o

strategic decision makers,” Kreismansays. “While the quantitative and

analytical skills gained here are

important, the ability to adapt and

lead sets our students apart rom

others.”

Daniels also has been ranked as

a top business school by Business-

Week and U.S. News & World Report

DU sign maker is third-generation staffer

Working at the University o Denver just seemed natural to Dave Ostrom because he’d been

around the school most o his lie.

As young boy, Ostrom’s grandather, John Ostrom, would usher him around campus to dierent

events.

“He’d take me to almost all o the hockey games and let me sit with him up above the press boxes

o the old arena,” Dave Ostrom recalls. “When he had to come in over the weekend, I was usually

standing in his shadow and seeing how things worked and seeing parts o the campus nobody ever

saw.”

John, it turns out, would be the rst o three generations o Ostroms to work at DU. He began

at DU in 1938 (during the Franklin Roosevelt administration) and retired in 1976 as supervisor o plant

operations. He died in 1979.“I know my grandather enjoyed working here,” Ostrom says. “He would work at all the sporting

events and any other event going on around the campus to make sure they all ran smoothly.”

Then it was Ostrom’s dad’s turn: David Ostrom, who worked part time at DU in high school and

started a ull-time job in 1971. He handled several duties, including painter, yard crew oreman and

maintenance oreman or the married student apartment complex and student housing until he retired

in 1999. He died in 2007.

Between 1974 and 1976, all three Ostrom generations were on campus together. The junior

Ostrom started at DU in high school in 1974, watering lawns by pulling hoses (no sprinkler systems in

those days).

Today, Ostrom is the man behind many o the signs on campus: nameplates or employees, signs

or buildings, room numbers (with Braille) and re evacuation signs.

When the University rst bought a computerized sign-making machine, Ostrom took a computer

class at DU.“My superiors knew I took the class and gured I might not break their new machine, so they

asked i I would like to try it out,” Dave says. “From then on they would bring me a challenging project

and I would get it done.”

So, is there another amily member waiting in the wings to make it a ourth generation?

Actually, yes. And technically, it’s already happened. Ostrom’s daughter, Charice, worked or DU

or two weeks in 1997 cleaning dorm rooms. “She didn’t like it much and quit,” he says.

But his two sons, Timothy and Jonathan, have talked about working at DU.

“My hope or them is to see DU in a dierent way than I did,” Ostrom says. “Meaning rom the

classroom and getting a degree. Then i they want to work here, that would be ne with me.”

Even though the game is played on ice, the memories of former DU hockey players and coaches are some of the warmest of their lives.

More than 300 faces and voices from DU’s legendary hockey heritage recalled stories, re-lived past glories and rekindled friendships at

an Oct. 10 reunion honoring the program’s 60th anniversary season.

And the memories went back to the beginning.

“If you don’t have a first year, you can’t have a second year,” says Doug McKinnon (BS ’52, JD ’54) with a warm, deep chuckle. McKinnon

played on DU’s first team in 1949 and served as the squad’s first team captain.

At 81, McKinnon looks spry, clear-eyed and full of wisdom. When asked what hockey taught him as he entered his life as a successfu

Denver lawyer, he quips, “You have to understand you win some and lose some, but if you do your best and still lose, that’s OK.”

McKinnon, who began playing at age 5 in Canada, says one of his favorite memories on the ice was simply, “I was a defenseman and

I liked to shoot on the net and get one in now

and then.”

The reunion was a massive undertaking

headed by a committee of former players, staff

student managers and fans who approached Peg

Bradley Doppes, DU’s vice chancellor of Athletics

and Recreation, two years ago.

“Denver hockey has meant so much to

the University and the community of Denver

since its inception nearly 60 years ago,” Bradley

Doppes says.

To borrow a metaphor from another sport

“it was a grand slam home run,” says Tom

Sampson (BSBA ’70), a committee member and

team student manager from 1967–70.

Sampson helped organize a weekend ful

of activities for the former players, which

culminated in an Oct. 10 game against Vermont

One of those players was a fellow teammate ofMcKinnon’s, Norman Kasch (BA ’52), who was full of praise for his former team captain.

“We needed somebody who could carry their thoughts out on the ice to make it go,” Kasch says. “Doug was that guy — a coach-player

the guy who was there, the spark plug — and after 60 years, it all boils down to Doug. He’s the guy who made it fly.”

Kasch, a forward, downplayed his contribution that first year. “I don’t recall the coach ever saying two or three words to me. I was jus

meat out there during the practice.”

Today, Kasch is a retired architect who acts much younger than his 84 years. He lives with his wife of 59 years, Julia, in Aurora in a

senior community and is a regular at water aerobics, sailing and golf.

His sentiment about hockey’s life lessons mirrored McKinnon’s: “Keep the honor of what you’re doing, no matter if you’re losing and

at the bottom of the heap.”

And they are lessons younger players echoed as well.

“It sculpts you as a person, you learn how to work on a team,” says Mark Rycroft (BSBA ’03), who played from 1997–2000 and who

retired last year from a thriving career with the Colorado Avalanche. “It shaped my life, I met my wife here and built my mind to be asuccessful person. I look back and realize it helped me become confident to solve problems.”

Erik Andersson (BSBA ’96, MS ’97), who played from 1993–97, could have won the award for traveling the farthest for the reunion — he

and his family flew from Sweden, where he’s an investment banker.

“It means a great deal to me to have been a part of the program,” Anderson says. “When you look at all the history, it’s unbelievable

and incredible.”

DU’s current coach, George Gwozdecky, says he’s been happy to be a part of the tradition of “so many great players and great teams

who’ve fought and won the many championships and to be part of the players who’ve gone on to play professional hockey. It’s an amazing

ride.”
