Buy a beer, help TU. Several years back, I got the chance to tour the Upslope Brewing Co. in Boulder, Colo., just as we were negotiating an agreement with the company’s top officer, Henry Wood. Upslope, at the time, was on the verge of a big growth spurt, but Wood and his team wanted to…
John Day Dam on the Columbia River.

After two major surgeries, I was on the slow road to recovery, which meant getting super buff crutching across campus (and dealing with thick, nasty callouses on my palms),…
More than 50 years ago, TU’s mission was still centered around cold, clean water
Every now and then, I like to explore and find new water, even in parts of the world I’m very familiar with. Earlier this week, I spent some time in the fringe country of Yellowstone National Park, along the Idaho-Montana border.
