Five University of Colorado researchers are being honored as members of the 2026 class of Boettcher Investigators, each receiving a $250,000 grant from the Boettcher Foundation’s Webb-Waring Biomedical Research Awards Program. This year’s class, announced last week by the Boettcher Foundation and the Colorado BioScience Association, represents the next generation of scientific excellence and marks another milestone in the Boettcher Foundation’s 17-year commitment to strengthening Colorado’s biomedical research ecosystem.
The CU Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) program recently hosted commissioning ceremonies to officially appoint 53 CU ROTC cadets and midshipmen as military officers. The ceremonies celebrated years of academic coursework, intensive military training, leadership growth and personal dedication as graduates swore the oath of office and launched careers in the armed forces. CU is the only university in Colorado to host ROTC programs representing the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Space Force, continuing a longstanding tradition of preparing future military leaders through higher education and service.
