Frank Webb

When Frank Webb (PolSci’68) was drafted to the Vietnam War in 1968, he was unable to attend his commencement ceremony. More than 50 years later, he was recognized during the Spring 2022 commencement, receiving a standing ovation from the crowd of more than 25,000 in Folsom Field. During the war, Frank worked as editor of a military newspaper in Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam. Once he left the army, Frank worked in System Engineering at GTE and later AT&T Mobility. “Many brilliant people and great instructors at CU gave profound meaning to my experience of a college education,” said Webb. “And I was always deeply involved in the fine thinking — and debate — of my peers. I never missed a single CU football home game at Folsom Stadium,” he said. He lives near Snohomish, Washington.
