Dear Alum,Another snowstorm has draped the Flatirons in white, and it’s heavily overcast. But as you well know, it’ll be warmer and sunny soon. With Kent’s departure, we’re replacing his Kent’s Corner column in Buffalum Notes with a revolving one called CU Voices written by alumni, faculty, students and staff. It should be interesting! If you’d like to contribute text and at least six photos about a CU theme, e-mail Marc Killinger with your idea. And we’d always like to receive your photos of alumni events and travel. If you’ve moved or changed e-mail addresses, let us know! And don’t forget, you can always find the latest on CU happenings at alumni.colorado.edu.

CU student searches for world peace on Semester at Sea
by Erika Usui I can only imagine the look on my mom’s face as she opened the mailbox to see a postcard from me that read, “I’m off to sail around the world! Send me some limes to ward off the scurvy! Love, Erika.” So there I was, a senior at CU, with the vast Pacific in front of me and the world at my fingertips. Eleven countries in a hundred days was the plan.
