From the
President
Dear Fellow Mavericks,
Looking back on 2012, I am proud to say that it has been another extraordinary
year for Colorado Mesa University. While most colleges and universities in
Colorado experienced enrollment declines this year, CMU continued to grow
because students and families value the personal experience and quality
programs we have to offer. As we rapidly approach an enrollment of 10,000
students, we believe the sky is the limit for our university.
In this edition of The Maverick, you get a sense of how our institution is
evolving, even as we embrace our history. With a recently modified role and
mission making CMU a "selective" institution, the level of academic rigor and
performance has never been higher at our institution. Across every program,
our excellent professors continue to make us better by pushing students and
helping them succeed.

To be sure, none of this would be possible without continued support from our
communities, alumni and friends of the institution. Be sure to stay engaged
with CMU by catching a game, a performance in the Moss Performing Arts
Center or one of the many special events organized by the CMU Foundation in
the coming year.
