University of Colorado Aerospace Program
The Aerospace Engineering Sciences Department has an active research program that engages faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduate students. The Department had research awards of $15.2 million last fiscal year, more than any other department on the CU Boulder campus.
Ongoing research activities span the focus areas of the department:
Researchers are organized into four major research centers to address multidisciplinary aerospace research topics. Individual faculty also establish research laboratories to conduct state-of-the-art research.

It's Not Punny
The shovel was a ground breaking invention, but everyone was blown away by the leaf blower.
I bet the person who created the door knocker won a Nobel prize.
What do you call a line of rabbits marching backwards? A receding hairline.
Why didn’t the lion win the race? Because he was racing a cheetah.
Sausage puns are the wurst.

SLW Ranch — As one of the oldest family-run ranches in the country, SLW Ranch in Greeley has been managed by the Studebaker, Lamb and Witwer families since the late 1800s. At its historical peak, the ranch was one of the largest in the country, at over 22,000 acres. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places and named a Centennial Ranch by the Colorado Historical Society, SLW Ranch has been raising cattle exclusively since 1913. Amazingly, the ranch is still in operation today. It’s said to be home to the oldest registered Hereford herd in the country.
