Earlier this year, Frederic Bloom, J.D., was named to the newest cohort of President’s Teaching Scholars, high recognition for excellence in and commitment to learning and teaching, as well as active, substantial contributions to scholarly work. He teaches Civil Procedure, Evidence, Federal Courts and related courses. "The law is a distinctly human enterprise: It is made by people, with people, for people," he said. "I sincerely believe that my students will be better attorneys, better advocates, better neighbors and better leaders if they remember that important fact."

When Jeffrey Nytch, D.M.A., prepares students for potential nonlinear career paths, he’s speaking from experience. “I didn’t go to college to major in music,” said Nytch, a professor at CU Boulder’s College of Music. “In fact, I was interested in business and finance. Music had always been in my life, but I was told that it was ‘a great hobby but a lousy way to make a living.’” This year, Nytch was named to the newest cohort of President’s Teaching Scholars at CU.
