Eddie Henderson, M.D., is an accomplished person, to put it simply. He has taken lessons from or played onstage with some of the most notable jazz greats. But jazz musician isn’t the only title on Henderson’s resume. During his 83 years on this planet, he’s also served in the U.S. Air Force, practiced medicine, and was the first African American to compete for a national figure skating championship. Henderson is the subject of a new documentary created by College of Arts & Media Professor Michelle Carpenter. Also, an exhibition about Henderson’s extraordinary life will open Feb. 1 at the CU Denver Experience Gallery.
Gwendolyn D’Elia heard something in a department meeting that saved her life. In the October 2022 meeting, shortly after returning from maternity leave, she listened as her department’s human resources leader mentioned that he used the Colorado State Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to discuss a personal issue. EAP is a confidential resource for State of Colorado and University of Colorado employees, which provides no-cost access to counseling, professional coaching and more.
