CU Denver Goes Underground
Many of the artists who participated in Denver’s 2024 Underground Music Showcase are alumni of CU Denver’s Music & Entertainment Industry Studies program, while an intricate collaboration between CU Denver and Youth on Record has helped Denver’s music scene grow into what it is today.
The CU Denver Center for Psychedelic Research led by Jim Grigsby, PhD, launched this summer. The center is dedicated to improving the quality of life of people by studying the possible benefits psychedelic drugs may have in treating a range of mental, emotional, neurologic, and other health conditions, as well as their potential use for late-stage cancer, and chronic, debilitating diseases.
