3…2…1…There goes Ralphie, into space! CU Boulder’s living American bison mascot is famous for running Folsom Field during home games of the Colorado Buffaloes. But Ralphie has also roamed where no other mascot has gone before—to the edges, even, of Earth’s solar system. Well, maybe not Ralphie herself. But for more than three decades, engineers at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) have emblazoned the image of Ralphie onto instruments destined for space.
David Capps, Ed.D., joined the University of Colorado as chief information security officer (CISO) for CU system administration in August 2022. Capps has a noteworthy month in store. October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month; it also is the month CU has chosen for the launch of a new security training requirement that will help employees recognize potential risks, apply proper safeguards and promptly report suspicious activities.
