The Mile High City

Denver, Colorado boasts a history that defines the very spirit of the American West. During the summer of 1858, Sam Bates and Green Russell discovered a deposit that yielded 622 grams of gold, spurring the Pikes Peak Gold Rush that brought over 100,000 gold seekers to the area within two years, turning a modest mining camp in the Territory of Kansas into what would become Denver City. From historic mining town to thriving world cultural icon proud of its heritage, Denver is the perfect setting for the frontier convergence of cultural and educational institutions with media technologies that were unimaginable only a few years ago, and the ushering of new partnerships and models of discovery. Typically, early September weather in Denver is wonderful! But evenings will be chilly, and you’ll be happy if you bring a few warm layers!
