Albab Seifu \u201911<\/strong>,\u00a0 Ashley Johnson \u201906 <\/strong>(holding Prowler), Nick Rogerson \u201908<\/strong>, and Cullen Hughes \u201994 <\/strong>celebrated the co-incidence of four CC alums living and working in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, last summer.<\/p>\n

Johnson, who is pursuing a master\u2019s degree in international development at Georgetown University, was working with the U.S. Agency for International Development and based out of the U.S. Embassy in Addis Ababa. While there she met up with Seifu, who returned home to work in Addis Ababa after graduating from CC; Rogerson, who runs Betasab Global Family Initiative, serving orphaned and vulnerable children just outside of Addis; and Hughes, a USAID foreign service officer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt truly is a small world to run into fellow CC Tigers halfway around the world,\u201d Johnson says. \u201cWe organized an impromptu alumni reunion in Addis, which probably was a first. We met up at a fabulous spot in the heart of Addis, in a neighborhood called Bol\u00e9 at a gallery called Makush. Makush is an Ethiopian-owned combined art gallery and restaurant that showcases artists from across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toni Larson \u201962<\/strong> and Robert Preston \u201911<\/strong> met each other on a Denver Sister City delegation trip to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, led by Denver Mayor Michael Han-cock in August. The delegation celebrated the 25th anniversary of Mongolian independence and the 14th anniversary of the sister cities relationship.<\/p>\n

Preston spent the summer in Mongolia interning in the Foreign Relations Department of the Governor\u2019s Office of Ulaanbaatar. He currently is pursuing a dual master\u2019s degree in Business and International Studies at the University of Denver. Larson, who has a Ph.D. from the University of Denver, currently is vice president of the League of Women Voters of the United States and frequently runs into CC grads on her travels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
