Supporters rally at Capitol to celebrate SCOTUS OK on gay marriage mrice20@msudenver.edu Hundreds gathered at the Colorado Capitol the evening of June 26 to celebrate the U.S. Supreme Court’s 5-4 landmark decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide. The Supreme Court opinion cited the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection and individuals’ rights to personal choice as reasons for the decision. SCOTUS also stipulated that the 14th Amendment requires states to recognize same-sex marriages performed validly in other states. A who’s who of Colorado legislators and political activists addressed the crowd, with many acknowledging this as a giant step, but saying there is still work to be done toward full equality. Gov. John Hickenlooper said in the last

two decades Colorado has gone through a transformation from being a “hate state” to being recognized as a leader for equality. “In the end, love conquers all,” Hickenlooper said. U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette was jubilant as she addressed the crowd, but cautioned there is more work to be done. “We won, and justice won. And most of all, love won today,” Rep. DeGette said. “Until we have full equality for everyone, there is no equality for anyone.” Colorado House Speaker Dickie Lee Hullinghorst echoed DeGette’s thoughts. “Yesterday countrywide, confederate battle flags were taken down, and today all over the country rainbow flags are going up.” Hullinghorst said. “We must remain ever vigilant.” Manuel Ramos, an MSU Denver 2015

hospitality, tourism and events graduate said the ruling seems almost too good to be true. “I am super excited,” Ramos said. “I’m in shock, still that it actually passed.” Ramos said he’s been with his partner for three years and his greatest fear was that if something were to happen, he wouldn’t have the full access and rights that straight couples have. “Life just got simpler,” Ramos said. “I’m 30, and I’ve never known our life to be so simple.” Stonewall Democrats of Colorado Vice Chair Jeremy VanHooser said the rally was empowering and overwhelming. VanHooser is an MSU Denver 2011 human services graduate who also works in the MSU Denver Office of Institutional Diversity. Continued on page 4 >>

Summer construction projects transform campus Story and Photos By Melanie J. Rice mrice20@msudenver.edu

Another change comes with 50-years of lives transformed: construction. As MSU Denver celebrates its 50th anniversary, the campus is undergoing a transformation of its own. Jerry Mason, AHEC director of Student Facilities Services, said there are four major construction projects underway on campus, including the addition of a full-service Starbucks and Tivoli Brewing Co.’s taproom and brewery. The Starbucks is going into the space in the Tivoli where the Roger Braun Lounge was located. Mason said it’s on track to open Aug. 17, the first week of fall classes. However, Mason said “With any project, that date is always fluid, because things happen — particularly in this building. In this old building, they’ll go into it and oh, whoops! We found something.” Because the Tivoli Student Union is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, there are specific requirements that govern construction projects, beyond

normal government regulations. Tivoli Brewing Co. is bringing its beer home to The Tivoli Student Union and has plans to open a taphouse and a separate brewery in the space formerly occupied by Cimarron Cafe and Grill.

Tivoli Brewing Co. Brewer Dieter Foerstner said he’s looking forward to working with MSU Denver’s new brewing curriculum, which is now offered as an incubator program through The Center for Individualized Learning.

“The library project is a major renovation happening with a new entrance and expansion,” Mason said. Libraries on college campuses are shifting focus to more electronic resources and more study space.

As part of the project, some of the study seating near the Confluence Café has vanished. However, barista Madylne Kuhl said “The construction itself has slowed business somewhat, but the construction workers more than make up for it.” Kuhl is an MSU Denver junior, majoring in psychology and has worked at Confluence Café for about eight months. The 10th Street Pedestrian Corridor project is located just south of the Auraria Library, on 10th Street, between Colfax and Curtis. Mason said the existing walkway had a very high crown, which created ADA accessibility issues for people using wheelchairs. The asphalt is being replaced, the walkway will be flattened and brick pavers will be used to improve the appearance. The project also includes some updates to the stormwater drains. Look for The Metropolitan’s slideshow showing more of these projects at mymetmedia.com and watch for future coverage on the new Tivoli Brewing Co. taphouse.

She said the decision represents a change from a situation she was in 20 years ago

when she faced discrimination on another campus. Colby Brumit, a 2010 MSU Denver fine art graduate, and member of the LGBT community said he screamed out loud when he heard the SCOTUS decision. “I was surprised this morning how right I felt. It was one of those things that you don’t realize how

much it’s affecting you until it’s not affecting you anymore,” Brumit said. “It was just an exhilarating experience to have that extra validation and I think it’s also the beginning of a series of ending workplace discrimination and ending other areas of discrimination for the LGBT community.” “It’s just an amazing feeling of celebration tonight,” Brumit said. “I think people are going to have a lot of fun tonight, and I’m very excited to see what the future holds for the LGBT community.”

African-American leaders: How to support the black community By Melanie J. Rice mrice20@msudenver.edu Cries of “Black Lives Matter” echo across our nation and through our community in the aftermath of the June 17 mass killing of nine African-American churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina. The Charleston shootings came in the wake of public outcry

against alleged police brutality and killings of unarmed black and brown people nationwide, including Michael Brown, Eric Garner and Walter Lamer Scott. The Metropolitan has reached out to black campus and community leaders who shared their views on how white people can support the black community. The Metropolitan asked each of these leaders the same questions:

She is the outgoing president of Auraria’s African Student Union and the incoming president of MSU Denver Africana Studies Department student organization, Cultural Literacy Empowerment Program. Support one another “You came to a very interesting person because I’m multi-racial — I’m part white, I’m part Latina, I’m part black and African. I think people in all races need to come together as one ... I feel like there’s

one community and one struggle; we need to support them regardless.” “We should all just support each other and not proclaim it on one race to do it.” Research, learn the facts “Research. Expose yourself. In this case for a person who wants to know why black people get targeted, go to a library.” Have conversations “Once you expose yourself, and read articles and kind of get involved, then have a conversation with people.” Engage yourself

Community activist, who is on the National Council of the New York-based Fellowship of Reconciliation and founder of the Denver Freedom Riders. Confront white privilege; have tough conversations “I think white people have plenty of work to do if they focus on confronting their own whiteness and confronting the white privilege that they’ve inherited from different systems that give them unfair advantage over and against people of color and especially black people.” “When I think about what that

“What can white people do to show support for and love on our black community? What about those who are apolitical? What about busy students?” Excerpts of their responses are below. A longer version of this story appears online at mymetmedia.com.

from in this society.” “And when we talk about the term white skin privilege, we’re simply saying that there are subtle and not so subtle ways in which whites accrue certain benefits or advantages just by virtue of being born white in this society.” This can be seen in life expectancy and incarceration rates for blacks, as compared to whites, Grady-Willis said. “The black boy who’s born on June 30, 2015 stands an eight times greater chance of being incarcerated or on parole than the white male child who also is in that (hospital) nursery.” Have tough conversations on race issues “And then, a second thing, which is also much more difficult to do, is to be willing to challenge racist comments by family mem-

“Then start getting engaged and say what can I do more physically besides talking about it now? What can I do after that?” Sandoval said moderated panel discussions can be a good way to open up issues. Use social media Sandoval said if students are too busy to take part in panel discussions, they can incorporate social media to have open discussions, or just share information to help educate others. Sandoval said her mom videotaped the church ceremony after the Charleston shootings and

asked her to watch it. “I would rather not see it because I personally get too emotional, and me, I want to just put a blindfold on. But at the exact same time, we need to see it, we have to.” “Technology as much as it destroys us in a sense, in this chapter, with racism, it’s starting to revolutionize — big time.”

MSU Denver Africana Studies department chair and author of “Challenging U.S. Apartheid: Atlanta and Black Struggle for Human Rights 1960-1977.” Educate themselves “My immediate answer speaks to the fact that I am an educator, and so one way that individuals can show support, individually, is to become as well-informed about what’s going on around them as they possibly can.” Grady-Willis said this means reading the newspaper, listening to commentators on the Internet and in hard copy writing. Question white skin privilege “I think whites can really be supportive if they are willing individually to embark on that journey toward interrogating the white skin privilege that they benefit

means practically to deal with whiteness, it’s to have conversations that they wouldn’t normally have — whether it be with family or friends about the issue of race and to not buy into the rhetoric that we are a colorblind society because to be colorblind would be to be crazy. The goal should not be to be colorblind but to analyze what it is that we see when we see color, when we see difference. The only way to really do that is to begin to ask questions about your own whiteness and the ways in which you benefit simply because of the color of your skin.” Build relationships outside racial boundaries

bers and friends. That’s where the rubber meets the road. And when someone can begin to do that — to wage those battles, to challenge racist comments, to have some courageous discussions — that’s when change takes place.” “This is not easy stuff we’re talking about. It’s not easy stuff at all, but it’s very important.” Play a supporting role “Part of what it means to be an ally in different contexts is in accepting the fact that at the end of the day you’re not going to be the leader, necessarily … And that can be difficult too, especially for whites who are very progressive politically who have an enlightened consciousness — these individuals have to know sometimes when it’s really important to step back.”

Jessica “Sica” Sandoval Photo by Jason Dirgo.

Grimes said it’s important for white people to build intentional relationships with people of color in contexts where white culture is not dominant. Become freedom fighters rather than allies “Lastly, I would say we need white people to stop thinking about themselves as allies necessarily, but to start thinking of themselves as freedom fighters who are willing to take incredible risks to make sure that all people are free.” Confront stereotypes with discussion “I question if anyone is really apolitical but if they’re uncomfortable with being political

activists, one avenue is simply to begin to have discussions within their immediate circles, with their friends and family as things come up in the news.” Support minority campus organizations Grimes said students can reach out to black, Latino or Native American campus organizations to offer assistance, but he cautioned against trying to be paternalistic. “Just say, ‘How can I walk alongside of you in what you’re doing?’ and let them teach you.”

All the candidates with the trumped up kicks, run Yet, you actually think the Latino community will vote for you. Why? Because many of them work for you right now and the rest are just lying in wait for you to get them a job. Does working for you equate to voting for you?

By Joella Baumann jbauma17@msudenver.edu Donald Trump: I keep hearing that you’re a brilliant man — outside of the horrible foot-in-mouth syndrome you suffer from. Last I checked, generalizing a whole ethnic group of people as rapists, drug dealers and criminals was political suicide, not brilliant. I’m sorry, not all of them. Like you said, some of the illegal immigrants crossing the border are probably good people. The rest of them, however, are raping and dealing.

“...you have managed to blackball yourself with Latinos, veterans and your own party in less than a month.” — Joella Bauman Of course, you don’t actually have to explain your nonsensical rants about “illegals,” the southern border and foreign policy. Instead when someone brings up a valid point to which you have no rebuttal you can just tell them not to be a “stupid baby.” Rick Perry has missed an opportunity to

make fun of your rhetoric: borrow your argument tactics from a first grader, did you? The only brilliant thing about your grossly insulting rants is that you have managed to blackball yourself with Latinos, veterans and your own party in less than a month. It must be great to be so rich and well-liked that even your own party running mates say you’re not fit to hold the position of commander-in-chief. But never mind all that you keep on keepin’ on, Trump. Now being a prisoner of war makes you not a war hero? I applaud John McCain for refusing to respond to such remarks. He made a compelling argument about your intent to “fire up the crazies.” Your response to try and insult him is to insult all veterans? I hereby dub you “king of the crazies.” According to you, everyone holding any type of office in the White House is stupid — much less intelligent than people in China, Japan and Mexico, whom you accuse of stupidity. Not that I personally have anything against any of these countries, I just don’t agree with 90 percent of things

you say. In a world where if things were logical, you say, we’d be returning to Iraq to “bomb the crap out of them and take the oil.” Who cares that we lost thousands of lives, eight years and an estimated 1.7 trillion dollars. But what the heck, let’s do it again. You make as much sense as Charlie Sheen on 20/20. Do you have tiger blood in your veins?

By Cassie Reid creid13@msudenver.edu The collective memory of the nation was reminded of a longago nightmare when a jury found James Holmes guilty almost three years since the Aurora shooting. I remember walking out of a Gotham-themed movie marathon in Highlands Ranch confused to find patrol cars lining the roads. I remember mentally drafting a post before finding a newsfeed

than most with the time after a mass shooting, from the seconds of sheer confusion in the very beginning, to the days glued to our screens, reporters’ eyes dark with rings, to the years of planning, preparing and finally holding trial. National networks from “Buzzfeed” to the “New York Times” covered both the shooting and the verdict, inciting some Second Amendment advocates to proclaim their agenda on every platform possible. Psychological experts were brought in to discuss the oft-abused tropes of mental illness and the difference between right and wrong to a reasonable person, generally with more interest in dissecting the attacker than for protecting the attacked from constant exposure to images of the attacker. And now, the verdict is in. While selecting a jury outside of the county or even Colorado was not an option, Holmes’ story is well-known, with true crime longform journalists Joyce and Stephen

“You’re fired.” — Joella Bauman Just one last question. While you’re convincing the Mexican government to pay for your “Great-Wall-of-China-style” border control, and focusing all your energy on re-entering Iraq and taking all our jobs back from the aforementioned “genius countries,” when are you going to recover from making the United States the most widely hated debt bully on the playground? You, Trump, are quite asinine. So I think we relieve you in fitting fashion. You’re fired.

Aurora verdict reminds nation of tragic loss full of the words ”shooting” and “casualties,” and numbers to call to find out if your loved one had survived. I remember waking up early given the late night and driving to my grandparents’ — the roads eerily quiet — a constant run of 9News playing with few interruptions from commercials and frequent repetition of the known facts, with a muffled soundtrack of questions and sniffles spilling from us. Then there were the relief stories, like a remarkable display of humility in Christian Bale’s unannounced visit to the Medical Center of Aurora; survival stories; and volunteers providing sustenance for mourners, reporters and authorities. Simultaneously, there were panicked calls from families far away or numb calls from neighbors and schoolmates who knew a friend of a friend or,worse, a dear person involved... Suddenly, you had to refer to these people in past tense. This state is more familiar

Singular publishing “The Spiral Notebook: The Aurora Theater Shooter and the Epidemic of Mass Violence Committed by American Youth” while booking gigs all around the city. Exposure to this case in the social media world is impossible to avoid, and all but a few straggling members of the instantly covered and despised “Holmies” were calling for a guilty verdict. To be clear, any opinion I have here is not about the proper punishment. This jury has had a massive undertaking with this stage alone, much less the emotional turmoil that lies ahead. Regardless of whether the verdict reflects whatever the true nature of the crime was, what matters is that we are never ruined. There is no force, of nature or madman, that can break our common bond as citizens of Colorado. We are our own heroes. The verdict provides us with a statewide sigh, of memoriam, of grief, of relief, and of healing.

Flume headlines Westword Music Showcase 2015 By Tim Ulrich tulrich@msudenver.edu Earlier this month, the Golden Triangle area became a sprawling festival-goer’s paradise for the 2015 Westword Music Showcase. Be it the headliners or the local acts, there was something for every music lover. The festival was spread out across 15 different venues, varying from atmospheric vibes in the airconditioned Dazzle Jazz to Broadway’s sun-soaked stage. Once the sun set and the main stage lit up June 20, it became clear why thousands of attendees came: the headliner Flume. It was music that wouldn’t let anyone get away without dancing — perfect after a long day and listening to great music. With the local acts, it was sure to be a racous time, quenching the thirst of any music lover no matter what taste they crave. To check out more photos from the event, see the Westword Music Showcase photo gallery, at MyMetMedia. com now.

Shantytown inspires friendship across borders Retaining wall built, families’ lives illuminated in overlooked district in Lima

An assemby line forms June 21 to pass rocks, buckets of cement and various other materials to begin the day’s constuction of a retaining wall in Pamplona Alta, Peru.

Photos and Story by Alyson McClaran amcclara@msudenver.edu I had a front row seat to a new world. I traveled with a Catholic mission trip of 20 people from Denver to Lima, Peru without knowing what to expect. The only thing I knew was that I wanted to capture the whole experience with clicks of a shutter. My only certainty was my camera, and my desire to make pictures of this culture which I have never seen. I arrived in Lima with my aunt and mother two days earlier than the group to do some extra exploring of the city. Once I stepped off the plane I was instantly in a world where it seemed no one knew English. My mother and aunt knew nothing beyond “hola” and “gracias.” For two days I didn’t meet a single person that could speak fluent English, so translation relied mostly on a few Spanish courses I’d taken and words kitchen staff taught me during years of service industry experience. It made the trip more of a challenge and an even bigger adventure. After two days of exploring this new world of marble, turquoise, gold, and maroon buildings, we met up with our group. It was a group of all ages and people who came from Denver to experience a new culture and help people

in need. The next morning our group loaded on a bus to attend our first work day in Pamplona Alta, a shantytown in Lima. I will never forget the bus ride down bumpy, unpaved and traffic sign-less roads. This world was one I was entirely unacquainted with. Trash filled the streets, stray dogs ran around wild, kids played barefoot, houses had roofs made of scrap metal and plywood. When we arrived at the work site I was surrounded by thousands of tiny houses painted in every color imaginable. “Gringos!” was the first word I heard from a Peruvian woman as I stepped off the bus. The word means white people. The Peruvian lady’s face glowed. She grabbed everyone kissing them on the cheek. We were told we would be working at the top of one of the hills in town. After hiking up countless stairs and questionably sound dirt with rocks, we made it to the site. For five days, we stood in an assembly line passing dirt, rocks and buckets of cement from person to person. There were no power tools or machinery to help us with the tasks due to lack of electricity in the town. The goal was to build a retaining wall that would stop falling rocks from crushing homes and businesses of the town’s people. They were told that if a wall wasn’t built, they would have to evacuate the place they called home. Locals helped

us daily and thanked us with hugs and smiles. They were some of the hardest workers, using their bare hands to pat down cement and chip away rocks that were in the way of construction of the wall. I became obsessed with taking photos of the workers, the children, and the town, seeing a brand new world —a world where people were extremely kind, positive and grateful to be alive. They had almost no material possessions, but the town was filled with the strongest love I have ever felt. Tears filled my eyes almost every hour, but not because I felt bad for these people. It was because they were happier than anyone I know.

It was a group of all ages and people who came from Denver to experience a new culture and help people in need. —Alyson McClaran

Pixar: “Toy Story” to “Inside Out”

13 12

By Joella Baumann jbauma17@msudenver.edu You don’t have to know me well to know that I live, eat and breathe for a good bargain. I love thrift stores and always take my coupons with me to the grocery store. The best bargain of all is — of course — free stuff. When better to get some free stuff than on your birthday? There is a lot of “deals,” however, may not be worth your time. I’ve gone several lists to review which freebies are truly worth the effort. Tons of companies will give you a free meal on your birthday, and you can even score a few non-food items as well. Some places will give you a freebie right away, but most require you to sign up several months in advance. This part can be tedious but totally worth the effort.

“Toy Story” review from The Metropolitan on Dec. 1, 1995. Poster from rottentomatoes.com

By Cassie Reid creid13@msudenver.edu

Every year there are a few favorites that I look forward to: a noodle bowl from Noodles & Company, a beverage from Starbucks, 5 piece wing from Buffalo Wild Wings, $30 credit towards your meal at Benihana and a free breakfast plate at Denny’s and IHOP. Added to my list this year is a regular sub and 22 oz. fountain drink at Jersey Mike’s Subs. I tried the chili cheese steak sub and it was delicious. These are the few places that offer free food items that aren’t a dessert. I don’t particularly like dessert and won’t travel somewhere just for a free ice cream but there are tons of places that will give you a free dessert as well. Some other birthday deals I really like will cost you, but you still usually get something free or discounted. Famous Dave’s is a buy one get one free entree and Jamba does a $2 regular smoothie. My final favorite is a beauty freebie from Sephora. You have to buy something to get the gift, but I just grab something from the clearance section and everything will be really good quality Not your birthday but you want some free stuff ? There is tons of free stuff that happens year round. Denver has tons of local websites that you can peruse for free fun year round. For full lists of all available freebies go to heyitsfree.net and allyou.com. Don’t wait for someone else to treat you, treat yourself.

There’s a post cycling through social media which reads, “Pixar 1995: What if toys had feelings? Pixar 2003: What if fish had feelings? Pixar 2015: What if feelings had feelings?” Pixar is an unparalleled master of “the feels” (insert reference to first 10 minutes of “Up” here). Their perfect timing with “Toy Story” sequels created an unofficial “Andy generation.” Young bursts of energy upon first meeting Woody, Buzz and the gang aged into nomadic young adults facing the existential questions that come from leaving your childhood behind. “Monsters Inc.” taught the power of laughter over fear (an intriguingly simplified message given what’s coming). “Finding Nemo” taught parents about the cost of being over protective and followed in the line of “A Bug’s Life” and preceded “Ratatouille” with the message that anyone can truly achieve anything, no matter their circumstance. “The Incredibles” got Samuel L. Jackson to say, “Where is my super suit?” in probably the most iconic domestic dispute in 3D animation history. “WALL-E” re-popularized “Hello Dolly!”, made a firm step forward for environmental political activism and inspired any hoarder’s dream home. The first 10 minutes of “Up” exist (I know, second reference, but seriously, the reemergence of the adventure book makes me weepy). Pixar’s ironclad grasp on our emotions is unrivaled, so it was inevitable that the production company would dive into the topic. But “Inside Out” passes the average realm of Pixar excellence, excluding the

insta-franchise “Cars,” and comes out as a fi lm that bears real importance for kids and parents alike. Meet Riley or, more specifically, the five emotions that run Riley’s life, led by the ever-bright Joy (the amazing Amy Poehler). And Joy has a heck of a job dealing not only with Riley’s move from Minnesota to San Francisco, but with Sadness (the spectacular Phyllis Smith) tampering with priceless core memories which each determine part of Riley’s personality. The worst is realized when Joy, Sadness and all five core memories are sent into the unknown realm of longterm memory and must make their way back before Riley’s personality, literally, internally collapses. The animation team was reduced by half for this fi lm, but what is lost in staff is gained in ingenuity. Each of the five emotions is always moving, never fully solid and each realm of the brain is easily identifiable, even the wild ride that is abstract thinking. While the plot is all within an 11-year-old girl’s head, each emotion is endearing and the situations sympathetic. This fi lm reaches a new realm in its last half hour. I of course will not spoil it for you, but let me say if eight-year-old me had this fi lm, she would have felt a lot less alone in this world. If anything, this is the essence of the spirit of Pixar. To prove to kids and adults alike that you, you specifically, with your toys and your weird obsessions and your spectrum of emotions, are not alone.

Metro names Grant new athletic director By Robert Kemp rkemp9@msudenver.edu Metro President Stephen Jordan announced that Dr. Anthony Grant will be Metro’s new athletic director, beginning his duties Aug. 17. He replaces longtime director Joan McDermott who departed for the same position at Cal State East Bay. Grant, a Pennsylvania native, received his bachelor’s degree in English from Penn State University in 2000. He holds a master’s degree from Temple University in Philadelphia and a doctorate in health and sport studies with a concentration in athletic administration from the University of Iowa in 2008. During the announcement, Jordan said, “Grant brings the right mix of devotion to the student-athlete, a fundraising background, great energy and enthusiasm. He is someone we believe will help elevate the front porch of the University— our athletics program— to an even greater level.” Grant expanded on the idea of athletics as the “front porch” of an institution. “Intercollegiate sports has the opportunity to reach people that other parts of an institution might not be able to and, because of that reach, that societal craving for sports, folks are following collegiate athletics and learning not only about the student-athletes, but they’re learning about the institution,” Grant said. The former Millersville director said he

had never considered Denver before his appointment as athletic director at Metro. “Before coming to MSU Denver, I didn’t really know much about the institution,” Grant said. “I knew that the basketball team was competing for national championships and that other teams were competing on a national level.” Grant said that the deciding factor in his decision to come to Denver was the people. “When I got here, I realized that it’s a great institution with outstanding athletic programs and the people are so genuine and they really made me feel comfortable,” he said. In the days following the announcement, Metro coaches weighed in on the new hire. Nicholas Maas, men’s head cross country coach said, “I had the fortunate opportunity to have dinner with Dr. Grant, along with a number of other coaches and he seems to be a genuine, spirited individual who I believe can really move the athletics department into some new heights.” Tanya Haave, women’s head basketball coach, described Grant as, “an upcoming star in the sports administration world.” Grant brings over a decade of experience in collegiate athletics. “What I bring to the table is a studentcentered approach. I, as an Athletic Director, my staff, and my coaches are all educators. We’re here to provide an educational experience within the context of sport that will help our student-athletes grow and develop

while also competing for national championships.” Grant described his role as a leader. “Athletic directors wear a lot of different hats but I firmly believe that the athletic director is the leader of the athletic department. The athletic director sets the direction, sets the vision, and puts people in positions to succeed.” Haave had similar ideas when she said the athletic director is a mentor. Someone to bounce ideas off of. A coach for coaches. At Millersville, Grant helped raise $250,000 and oversaw a multi-million-dollar budget. During his tenure, he implemented

an academic support program that resulted in the recognition of more than 100 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference scholarathletes over a period of six years. “I want to win, obviously on the field, but I want to win academically. I want to have large numbers of RMAC scholar-athletes with high GPAs. I want academic awards. I want community service awards and the impact in the community those awards imply,” he said. Grant will start August 17 pending approval from Metro’s Board of Trustees. He will be joined by his wife Lisa, and his three children, Gianna, Jadyn and Preston for their tenure in Colorado.

Roadrunners celebrate 50th anniversary with giveaways By Nick Reilly nreilly1@msudenver.edu Big events typically start off with a countdown—whether it be holidays, the Super Bowl or even Metro’s countdown leading up to the fall sports alumni games. This celebration for the Roadrunners’ 50th anniversary is leaving a trail of gift giveaways all across campus in preparations of the games held August 29 at Auraria Campus. The athletics department began giving away 50 different prizes on July 10 which have been placed in random locations throughout campus every day until August 29. Hints are available on the Runner’s social media pages. Some hideaway locations

have included the old softball field, the campus bookstore and The Regency Athletic Complex. The much anticipated alumni games will include men’s and women’s soccer as well as volleyball. The recent promotion of Jeremy Tittle to men’s head soccer coach has the program eager to begin the upcoming season after winning the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference men’s soccer Brechler Award. They posted the highest team grade point average

in the conference during the 2014-15 academic year. The Roadrunners had a team GPA of 3.31 for the year under former head coach Ken Parsons, who is set to join Joan McDermott at Cal State East Bay where he has accepted the position of assistant athletics director. The Metro women’s soccer team is coming off a 14-2-5 season where they finished second in the RMAC. The Lady Runners made their 13th trip in a row to the NCAA

tournament last season, the longest active streak in Division II. Last winter, head coach Adrianne Pietz announced the signings of nine freshman who will see the field this fall after eight seniors graduated in last years’ class. As for the volleyball team, they secured a 23-7 record with only three losses in the conference. The Roadrunners made its 22nd NCAA tournament appearance and 15th consecutive, fourth-longest in DII. While sports fans patiently count down the days for the different sports seasons to begin later this fall, the fun has already begun on the Auraria Campus. If you haven’t started collecting your gifts by now, then it is not too late to get on it.

Other sports news around campus & the community As Metro celebrates its 50th anniversary heading into the 2015 fall semester, the athletics department helped commemorate the year with plenty of new changes. The emergence of the Regency Athletic Complex has been a big hit on campus, Dr. Anthony Grant accepting the position for athletics director and former Roadrunners moving on to achieve greater heights have shown to be a milestone year for 2015.

New men’s head soccer coach» The month of July kicked off with the announcing of Jeremy Tittle as the men’s head soccer coach. Tittle replaces Ken Parsons who accepted the position as assistant athletics director at Cal State East Bay. Jeremy Tittle named the new men's head “Jeremy is the perfect soccer coach.

Saccomano: From Roadrunner to retired Bronco»

In recognition of Metro’s 50th anniversary, alumnus Jim Saccomano—retired Denver Broncos executive— spoke with the University about his time as a Roadrunner and career in the blue and orange. “My time at MSU Denver was literally the foundation of my entire career. The school gave me a chance to grab and hold on to an uncertain but promising future. It is always up to the individual, but MSU Denver gave me a chance.” Saccomano, the former vice president of corporate communications of 36 years in the Broncos organization, graduated with a degree in Speech Communication in 1970 from Metro.

State of the Nuggets post draft Nuggets draft Mudiay with 7th overall pick

By Jordan Mosier jmosier7@msudenver.edu New Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone has his work cut out for him. With the Nuggets parting ways with troublesome Ty Lawson, Emmaunel Mudiay, drafted seventh overall is set to lead Denver back to playoff contention. Being competitive anytime soon seems unlikely when you're up against the likes of reigning NBA champions Golden State Warriors led by Stephen Curry. The ageless Spurs with Tim Duncan returning for his 19th season along with newly signed free agents Lamarcus Aldridge and David West are primed for yet another run. Oklahoma City will likely be back in the playoffs with Kevin Durant’s return from injury. Durant faces his possible final season in OKC with one year remaining on his contract. This year’s’ draft has come and gone with lots of anticipation for the Nuggets. In trade talks throughout draft night, Denver General Manager Tim Connelly attempted to acquire another draft pick but decided not to pull the trigger expecting greater returns as we head into the regular season. Pre-draft talks included whispers of the Nuggets moving up to acquire a point guard but as the board would have it, along with some help from the New York Knicks (who drafted Kristaps Porzingis), Emmanuel Mudiay,19, fell straight into Denver’s lap. In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Malone said, “The

Emmanuel Mudiay,19, was drafted seventh overall and played in three of the four Nuggets Summer League games. Photo courtesy of Getty Images/probasketballtalk.com

first name that Tim mentioned to me when I got the job, regarding the draft, was Emmanuel Mudiay. And very rarely do you get the guy that you have rated No. 1, and we feel very, very fortunate to have Emmanuel in the Nuggets family.” At 6’5” 200 pounds, Denver has acquired their guard of the future. Someone who offensively has the athleticism to run the floor and throw down an occasional “monster jam” paired with good playmaking vision to set up his teammates. Defensively, he’s tall and lengthy with good lateral speed and effort has never been a problem. Malone should have no problem setting up defensive schemes to stop all the high powered point guards that plague the west with his new acquisition. All that’s left is to improve Mudiay’s mid-range shooting which is something that can be developed

over time. Connelly is a very well respected basketball mind in the NBA and has a roster full of tradeable assets. His roster looks to be shaping up with Lawson traded to the Houston Rockets in exchange for Pablo Prigioni and three other players with non-guarantee contracts and a protected first round pick in next years’ draft. Denver will also send a 2017 second-round pick to Houston with Lawson, who is currently in rehab in Los Angeles after his second DUI arrest in 2015. With the Nuggets future as hazy as the capital on 4/20, there is only one thing certain at this point. Expect a complete roster shake up by the time October rolls around with Mudiay leading the pack.
