The University of Colorado’s second annual CU Showcase highlighted the university’s pivotal role in driving innovation across the state and nation. Coinciding with Colorado Startup Week, Monday’s event at the McNichols Civic Center Building in Denver brought together more than 60 CU innovators, students and community partners to share ideas and discoveries with the potential to change lives. The showcase connected CU’s four campuses through a mix of exhibits, conversation and collaboration.
The University of Colorado has announced two recipients of the 2025 Thomas Jefferson Award, one of the university’s highest honors. The award recognizes members of the CU community who exemplify the ideals of Thomas Jefferson, including a commitment to educational excellence, broad interests, civic responsibility and the welfare of individuals.
This year’s honorees are Hannah Wilks, assistant dean of students at CU Boulder, and Wesley Marshall, professor of civil engineering and urban and regional planning at CU Denver.
