The college’s lecture series enables students and faculty to meet people whose work significantly contributes to the different fields that make up the design professions in America. All students registered in the College of Architecture and Planning attend convocations and special lectures throughout the year. In addition, the college sponsors an annual lecture series, with lectures at both the Boulder and Denver sites. Other professional organizations and design-related institutions in the metro area also sponsor lectures and events that are open to the college’s students.
