Enrichment Lecture Series Colorado’s Election Model: A 2020 Retrospective and What’s Ahead
Beekeeping in Denver: Catch the Buzz!
The 2020 General Election was the safest, most successful in the nation’s history. This despite a pandemic, unprecedented election disinformation and allegations of fraud. Join Dr. Judd Choate, Colorado’s director of elections, as he discusses the state’s election model, why some jurisdictions are racing to adopt it while others are not and how Colorado’s voters enjoyed the smoothest, most trusted voting experience in the country. Dr. Choate will also discuss insider security threats, as well as the recent redistricting process that created Colorado’s 8th Congressional District.

The James Webb Telescope
How did we get here? Are we alone in the cosmos? How does the universe work? Who amongst us has not thought about these topics before? Human ingenuity—in the form of the James Webb Space Telescope—is moving us closer to answers. Astrophysicist Alberto Conti says the telescope is NASA’s most complex project, bar none. Join Conti as he shares the science that gave birth to it, the innovative technologies behind it and how it is both demystifying and revolutionizing our understanding of space and the origins of our universe.

Growing Forward: Population and Economic Trends in Colorado
The preliminary 2020 Census data is in, and Colorado’s growth rate is the slowest it’s been since the late 1980s. Both births and migration have dropped, while deaths are slowly increasing. What are the ramifications for education? The labor force? Housing? The environment? Join Elizabeth Garner, Colorado state demographer, as she examines both the negatives (which everyone talks about) and the positives (which may be harder to see) of Colorado’s growth. As Garner says, “We can make just about anything work as long as we plan for it.”
