A map showing the stops on Braun's state tour to the Eastern Plains.

We're hitting the road again!

Last year, my inaugural state tour took my wife Karen and meÌýsouth and west, covering more than 800 miles from Durango and Alamosa, up throughÌýPueblo and Colorado Springs.

This year, from Sept. 10-14, we'reÌýheading to the Eastern Plains, with stops planned in Limon, Lamar, Yuma, Julesburg,ÌýSterling, Fort Morgan, Greeley and Fort Collins. From drone testing to wind energy, eastern Colorado is full of engineeringÌýinnovation, and I look forward to engaging with industry partners, educators and alumni in this unique part of our beautifulÌýstate.

The tour will end in Fort Collins, where Dean David McLean of Colorado State University’s College ofÌýEngineering and I will put aside the athletics rivalry of this week’s Rocky Mountain Showdown and discuss collaborativeÌýopportunities for our two powerhouse engineering colleges.

If you’re an alum of the college, I hope you will join Karen and myselfÌýat Mainline Ale House in Fort Collins on Thursday, Sept. 13, for aÌýspecial alumni gathering. I’ll be giving a brief update on exciting developments at CU Engineering, and you’ll also have ampleÌýtime to connect with your fellow alumni.Ìý
