Traffic jams, increased air pollution, loss of open space, all are consequences of continued population growth in the West and, according to Will Fleissig of the CU-Boulder Real Estate Center, it’s only going to get worse. "This will become more and more of an issue as people ask themselves --‘Can my life be better and not just be about sitting in a traffic jam all the time?’ I mean, is that really what we get from all of this wonderful growth? I think we can do better."

In mid-September, the School of Law at the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ at Boulder will host visiting professor Joseph L. Sax, an expert in environmental and natural resources law. Sax, a professor at the University of California-Berkeley, will spend Sept. 13 to Sept. 18 with CU-Boulder law faculty and students and with members of the local legal community. He will team-teach classes with several faculty members and will host a brown bag luncheon for students Thursday, Sept. 17, to discuss the topic "Endangered Species Act Reauthorization: What's (Not) Going On."

Under the old model of preparing future professors, a graduate student walked into the department chair's office, was handed a book and told to go teach. With today's emphasis on undergraduate teaching, college administrators realize that's not enough. They recognize teaching as an art that can be studied and improved.

This fall, Chancellor Richard L. Byyny and the Boulder Public Library will sponsor a series of Wednesday evening seminars that will bring cutting-edge ideas from the business world to the Boulder community. The lectures will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 9, Oct. 7 and Nov. 4 at the Boulder Public Library's main auditorium. Each program will be preceded by refreshments with Chancellor Byyny at 6:30 p.m. The Chancellor's Business Community Lecture Series will feature three timely topics and four energetic presenters from the College of Business and Administration.
