ITLL, located in the College of Engineering and Applied Science, is an interactive laboratory designed to engage undergraduate engineering students in real world research. The facility also is being used by Colorado school children and teachers to generate interest in engineering and science.
YNR is an intensive conservation corps and environmental education program. The students, who come from diverse backgrounds, are paid minimum wage during the summer to perform environmental work throughout Colorado and participate in educational activities introducing them to natural resource issues and job opportunities.
