Vincent De La Torre (BA '13) is not afraid to address the hard issues. His film, "Trails of Hope and Terror," a project that spanned seven years, discusses the reasoning behind and the politics surrounding immigration, and seeks to unravel the historical events that have led to its current state.
High school and junior high students often wish that political decisionmakers would just listen to them, and some political decisionmakers say they would like to hear more often from young people. So a group of faculty and students from the University of Denver decided to create ways for this communication to happen.
Two students discuss the ways that their experiences with the Global & Multicultural Campaigns course provided a way for each of them to readjust after study abroad experiences. In turn, they found that their international experiences increased their appreciation for and comprehension of this course’s content.
DU cares deeply about the well-being of its students, and it strives to create the best environment for students to not only receive a higher-level education in a variety of fields, but to also grow and develop as people. Although this has always been a goal of the University, the administration has recently made significant steps towards this ideal environment.
