The University of Denver (DU) is an independent, coeducational, four-year university in Denver, Colorado. Evans, who also founded Northwestern University prior to founding DU, is the source of the town in Illinois named “Evanston” (the site of the Northwestern campus) as well as Mount Evans, a 14,000+ foot mountain visible from the DU campus. The reverse initials “DU” are used as the University’s shorthand moniker (rather than the more intuitive “UD”) as part of a midwestern tradition of initial reversal, similar to the University of Colorado’s “CU”, the University of Oklahoma’s “OU” and the University of Kansas’ “KU.” Additionally, the University also recently opened the acclaimed $75 million Newman Center for the Performing Arts, which includes a 1,000 seat, four-level opera house with some of the finest acoustics in the region, a 600-seat recital hall with an impressive organ, and a 400-seat flexible theatre space, home of the acclaimed DU Theatre Department. DU has been transforming itself from its former undergraduate reputation as a “ski school” into a much more dynamic institution that combines small classes with university level resources, all in a young, vibrant and beautiful area of the United States. The Pioneers won consecutive NCAA hockey titles in 2004 and 2005, to go with five previous NCAA Championships in the ‘50s and ‘60s, giving DU seven hockey titles overall, second only to the University of Michigan’s nine NCAA hockey titles. The Denver Men’s Lacrosse and Women’s Soccer teams appeared in their respective 2006 NCAA Tournaments with women’s soccer advancing to the second round, and the Women’s Basketball team appeared in the 2001 NCAA Tournament. The Women’s Gymnastics and Golf teams, Women’s and Men’s Soccer, and Men’s Lacrosse teams have all also been ranked in the national top 20 in recent years, while the Men’s Basketball team won the Sun Belt West Division in 2005 and appeared in the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) for the first time since the 1950s. Men’s Ice Hockey plays in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, Men’s Soccer and Women’s Lacrosse play in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation, Men’s and Women’s Skiing competes in the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association, while Men’s Lacrosse plays in the Great Western Lacrosse League. However, the program was discontinued in 1960 due to financial reasons, and Denver’s baseball team was dropped in 1999 when DU returned to full NCAA D-I status. Other notable Denver sports alumni include former Major League Baseball player Dan Schatzeder, NBA basketball players Vince Boryla and Byron Beck, CFL Hall of Famer and former NFL football player Sam Etcheverry, 1952 US Olympic Long Jump Gold Medalist Jerome Biffle, former US Olympic Committee Executive Director Lyman Bingham, and former Colorado Rapids/US National soccer player Nat Borchers.
