Building 500 houses the Colorado School of Public Health at CU Anschutz, which was recently awarded $250,000 grant from the Health Impact Project to perform Health Impact Assessments which will analyze how a nonprofit hospital can become most efficient to benefit the community it serves.

Officials with the CU system announced Friday, Sept. 11, that total enrollment across its campuses stands at 61,258 students for the fall semester, a new record for the University of Colorado system.

The biggest gains were seen in the incoming freshmen classes at University of Colorado Denver and the CU Boulder campus, both of which were the largest ever for their respective campuses.

In Aurora, total enrollment at CU Anschutz was reported as 3.9 percent higher this fall from last year, at 4,054 students. Of that total, 12.3 percent are out-of-state students.

The student figures are preliminary, with final totals due in October. The enrollment figure announcement was part of a presentation to the CU Board of Regents during a meeting at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs.
