Student Profiles

Katy Keenan | ENVD Senior

This is an individual that defies the norms constantly. Whether it’s dressing up as Guy Fieri, making a foot out of clay or designing shelters with a needle and thread, she is a creative mind we should all look towards.

Steven Kumar | ENVD Senior

This student produces amazing work, he is a team player, he has helped his peers with their work, and he takes the time to teach me all about a world I previously knew nothing about!

Bella Manzo

Bella is strong beyond words. She always commits herself to strong work, she supports groups that she works in, manages a nearly full-time job all while being sweet and kind to all she comes in contact with. I appreciate Bella so much.

Academic Programs

Landscape Architecture Studio

Students converted a parking space in downtown Boulder into a temporary installation called See Levels Rise, for Park(ing) Day 2019. The installation highlights global sea-level rise due to climate change.
