At the end of the fall 2020 semester, three College of Engineering, Design and Computing faculty who, together, have more than 100 years of service to the college will retire. Civil engineering professors NY Chang, James Guo, and Bruce Janson will leave a legacy of research, teaching, and service.

Chang, who is the longest-serving faculty member ever, joined the college in 1975, and has spent his entire teaching career at CU Denver. Guo started at CU Denver in 1982 and knew then that he wanted to make CU Denver his only academic home. Janson came to CU Denver in 1990 and has shared his interest in transportation ever since. Each retiree has reflected on their time with the college, and they have shared those experiences in their own words: NY Chang, James Guo, and Bruce Janson.

Faculty, staff, and students are all invited to celebrate this momentous occasion at a virtual retirement celebration on Friday, December 18, at 1 p.m. Please contact Catherine Adam-Albarracin in the dean’s office for additional information.

Congratulations to all three of you, and thank you for your dedication and service to the college.

“Seeing how committed CU Denver was to helping me succeed is what ultimately made my decision. Having that level of support—from advisors, faculty, and the department—makes a huge difference. It gives you confidence that you’re in the right place.”
