During the last calendar year, the college provided partial support
for 133 Earn-Learn apprentices (58 in the spring of 2006 and 75 in
the fall of 2006). The Earn-Learn program provides financial support
for students while they engage in part-time work at the college with
the goal of furthering the student’s education, while serving the
needs of the sponsoring unit. The college will continue to support
this program in the upcoming semester with an estimated 73
apprentices.

Corporate Advocate Award
Dean Robert Davis presented the college’s second annual Corporate
Advocate Award in December to Jennifer Brooks, university relations
manager for Lockheed Martin. The award recognizes individuals whose
volunteer efforts have benefited students and faculty and built stronger
ties between the college and the individual's corporation.
Brooks facilitates college funding requests to the company, serves on
the MEP Advisory Board, organizes volunteers for a variety of college
events, and makes possible the annual WIEP/MEP Leadership Conference held
at the company site in Denver. Lockheed Martin hires between 40 and 50 new
CU graduates each year, and financially supports a variety of programs
including scholarships, senior design projects, Engineering Days, the new
DARPA research center in nanotechnology, and K-12 rural engineering
education.
