University of Denver Autumn 2024

The Robert and Judi Newman Center for the Performing Arts

Once sufficiently full, take in a bit of entertainment at the Robert and Judi Newman Center for the Performing Arts. During the 2023-24 season, the Newman Center hosted 270 ticketed performances and welcomed more than 100,000 patrons. Day 3 IT’S TEATIME Quench your thirst at Tea Street , offering anything from classic teas, milk teas and tea-free items like bubble tea or Vietnamese coffee. Victoria Lam (BSBA ’14, MBA ’19) and her brother Patrick developed an affinity for milk teas while traveling abroad and, wanting to fill a gap in the Denver market, Tea Street was born. With its convenient location in Denver’s Glendale neighborhood, you can sip while shopping at the nearby Cherry Creek Shopping Center. GET TO KNOW DU’S HOFERS We’re starting the day a little differently and getting a bit of a later start—you’ve earned a little rest. Colorado’s Sports Hall of Fame is conveniently located at Empower Field at Mile High, where you can also buy tickets to tour the stadium. The museum honors several DU sports standouts including hockey coaching icons George Gwozdecky and Murray Armstrong, hockey stars Keith Magnuson and William “Bill” Masterton, ski coaching legends Gordon “Gordy” Wren and

Willy Schaeffler, and renowned skier Marvin I. Crawford. EXPLORING SOBO Fast casual shouldn’t be confused with fast food when it comes to lunch at Chop Shop Casual Urban Eatery in Denver’s eclectic South Broadway, or “SoBo,” neighborhood. Menu items include 48-hour slow

cooked short ribs, crispy fried all-natural chicken, grilled achiote salmon filet and a roasted sirloin French dip. Founded by Christian Anderson (BSBA ’05), Derek Nelson (BA ’04) and Clint Wangsnes, Chop Shop prides itself on offering its customers great food without having to go to a full-service restaurant.
