University of Denver Autumn 2025

Sturm Hall’s brick facade, looming over Campus Green, is often remembered as “that building that I had class in.” When I came to DU, originally as a chemistry major, I thought much the same. But walking up the stairs after

a communication studies class that I had signed up for to check off a core curriculum requirement, I

realized that I wanted to go down a different academic and professional path. Connor Mokrzycki (BA ’22, MS ’25)
