TAKING FLIGHT 11 The Class of 2020 is made up of 116 amazing students, each with a
unique and compelling Kent Denver story. Here is one of them!
DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI AWARD 18 Chantal Weatherly-White Unfug ’85 has an impressive 20+ year
career in state and local government. See how a willingness to “step through doors without fully knowing what’s on the other side” helped make her one of Colorado’s key citizen problem-solvers.
A MOMENT IN TIME 20 Although cell phone cameras and selfies are a ubiquitous part of
modern life, the fine art of photography hasn’t lost its allure. Six alumni photographers share their work and reflect on the value of capturing the world one moment at a time.
GETTING AT THE WHY 25 Pursuing talents and interests she first developed as a Kent Denver
student, language strategist Elyse Stefaniak ’13 helps clients find words that resonate.
ALUMNI HOMECOMING WEEKEND 26 Moving Alumni Weekend to October brought a new energy to this
much-loved tradition. See highlights from 2019, and get ready to celebrate in 2020!
