Three ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ at Boulder students won first place in the print discipline at the One ClubÂ’s Young Creative Professionals advertising competition held in New York City. The CU-Boulder team of David Baker, Farrah Ferguson and Laura Hauseman competed against professional advertising agencies and graduate portfolio schools from around the country. The award is quite a coup, according to David Slayden, associate professor at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication and director of the Lab for New Media Strategy and Design, an Omnicom-funded project.

The CU-Boulder School of Law is the No. 1 state law school in the country and fourth overall for placing graduates in judicial clerkship positions. Out of the top 50 law schools listed in U.S. News & World ReportÂ’s "Best Graduate Schools, 2001 edition," CU-Boulder, with a 24 percent placement rate, trails only Yale (46.3 percent), Harvard (27.1 percent) and Stanford (24.2 percent). Judicial clerkships are a key educational quality indicator.
