Recent UC-Denver Graduate and DTI Student, Juan Sanchez, Studies Abroad in London

Just one week after his UC-Denver graduation, Juan Sanchez has gone on to pursue life-changing opportunities as well as new and exciting academic endeavors from across the world. May 15, 2010 marked the first day of the 2-week “London Calling: Global Sports & Entertainment Management” study abroad journey. The course will provide students a broader perspective on the Sports and Entertainment industry as well as the chance to visit sites including the Arsenal Football Club, the Molson Coors Football Sponsorship, All England Lawn Tennis Club/Wimbledon, 2012 Olympics Committee, Twickenham/Rugby Football Union, Surrey Cricket, and The O2 Arena. Additionally, Juan will be experiencing London’s Theatre Production, The British Film Institute, the BBC, and the UK Department of Culture, Media and Sport.

We’re very proud of Juan’s accomplishments and wish him safe travels throughout the remainder of his studies. Stay tuned for more on this experience.

DTI Summer Workshop Series 2010

DTI students can take advantage of our Summer Workshop Series which is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, June 1st. These workshops can be used by students as a means to test out of a class, get a better grade in a class for which they are currently enrolled, or prepare for a class which they will take in a coming semester.

Both Math and English/Writing workshops are offered, and the sessions will be led by Jacquelyne Brafford and James Ross. The math workshops will be separated into lower-level (afternoon) and upper-level (morning) sections, and there will be one English/writing section. Each workshop session will last approximately two hours (there will be a fifteen minute break between each hour). Workshop sections will convene twice per week, and students will not be responsible for purchasing any books or worrying about homework. The only things students should bring with them would be paper and pencil---handouts, study guides, and exercises will be provided.

If you think you might be interested in participating, please speak with your Case Manager or Peer Mentor ASAP in order to complete the necessary sign-up paperwork (don't worry, it's quick and painless)! Please call us at (303) 556-2461 to schedule an appointment.

The workshop schedule is as follows: Tuesday, June 1st through Thursday July 8th

Upper-level Math Workshop: (college algebra, trigonometry, calculus) 
Mondays & Wednesdays - 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM

Lower-level Math Workshop: (remedial math, algebra)
