Colorado’s Top Universities Prepare to Graduate!
This time of year is always special for college seniors as they prepare to graduate. In Colorado, where the “university culture” is huge, this time of year is also eagerly anticipated by local businesses and helps to generate additional revenue for restaurants, hotels and retail shops of all kinds. With graduation ceremonies happening at nearly every major university beginning this weekend, our college cities are taking their final steps to prepare for the influx of students’ friends, parents and other graduate guests. And, although it may be sad to see some of our seniors move on, a large portion of them will take up permanent residency here becoming our state’s future productive citizens. So, we take our hats off to this year’s 2014 Colorado college graduates and welcome them to Colorado’s professional world!
