"The student spinning the record is me! This was taken at the KAOS studios in Centennial Towers. Thanks for the photo shoutout!"
– David Rosenberg (BA ’78)
"I’m pretty sure that photo is of one of the Rosenberg twins, either David or Paul, and the picture was taken at KAOS. I spent time spinning records there, too. Eventually that led to my first job at KBTV (now KUSA) in Denver."
– Julie Roberts (BA ’81)

Great Performances on Campus
“I am not an alumnus, but my father, William Sanderson, taught at DU for 26 years. My parents once took me to a concert on campus that featured a solo appearance by Pete Seeger. I believe it was around 1960. As a young boy, I was very taken by this man who stood on stage by himself, singing and playing the banjo. Also, I think the Doors played there around 1970. There may be other notable musicians who have performed at DU, too, and I would be interested in reading about them.”
– Michael Sanderson
DU Is a Dream School!
The University of Denver was recently named a “Dream School” by higher education journalist Jeffrey Selingo. That got us wondering: What does a “Dream School” look like in real life? So we asked alumni how DU helped turn their dreams into reality.
A launchpad for what’s next. For many, DU provided the foundation to excel in their chosen careers, through a high-quality education and comprehensive academic programs designed to prepare them for what came next.
Learning that felt personal. Alumni also noted the quality of their professors and the personalized attention they got because of the small class sizes—an experience that one alum said was “a game changer.”
Making it possible. A dream also has to be within reach. Scholarships, work-study positions, and teaching assistantships helped many students turn a DU education into reality.
Friends for life. Again and again, alumni described relationships that have lasted well beyond graduation—proof that the true heartbeat of DU isn’t just what you learn but who you meet along the way.
