5 Romanoff takes off DU alumnus and outgoing Colorado Speaker of the House considers political options

nyone who has dreamed of pursuing higher education but thinks they’re too busy should take a look at the outgoing Colorado Speaker Aof the House. Romanoff received his law degree from the University of Denver in December and complete a journey he began six years ago. While sweating over the books, memorizing cases and learning the language of law, Romanoff represented one of Colorado’s most urban districts in the State House and rose to Speaker of the House. He helped enact Referendum C, a law that allows the state to spend surplus tax revenue on such things as education and transportation. He traveled abroad to promote Colorado’s business environment and was even rumored to be a potential candidate for governor in 2006. He also held a job as a college instructor. So why take on law school as well? “There was nothing good on TV,” Romanoff jokes before turning serious. “I think I was still intellectually hungry after graduate school. And I thought a law degree would be useful to me in my job as a legislator. I guess I didn’t time it well because I’m term-limited out as I get my degree.” WayneArmstrong Romanoff’s term representing District 6 expired at the end of 2008. But looking ahead, he’s one of three finalists for the Secretary of State position vacated by Mike Coffman, who was elected to Congress in November. Gov. Bill Ritter says he’ll announce Coffman’s replacement in January. Romanoff, 42, already holds a bachelor’s degree in American studies from Yale and a master’s degree in public policy from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, but says he wanted to know more about how the laws he was helping create would be interpreted in the courts. He started out with a full load of night courses in 2002 but eventually cut back his course schedule and even took the last two Andrew Romanoff, former Colorado House Speaker, visited a DU class for freshmen that introduced spring semesters off during the legislative science students to politics in November. Romanoff received his law degree from DU in December. session. “It was really good training for the brain,” he says. “It was a good experience.” While he didn’t seek specialization, Romanoff says he enjoyed courses in international law, citing his work with Professor Ved Nanda among his most memorable. Romanoff says he also fondly recalls courses with Adjunct Professor Karen Steinhauser and Professor Arthur Best. And in every class, he says, he enjoyed discussions about how lawyers and judges interpret laws and how courts try to determine the lawmakers’ intent. “In the first class I took, a professor told the students ‘You’ve got to pay close attention to the words of the statute because the legislature obviously took care in choosing those words,” and I was thinking ‘No we didn’t,’” Romanoff says. “I started thinking a lot about the record we’re developing, the floor debates, intent.” He says he’s also glad he took a course in election law, considering he’s in the running to head the office that oversees Colorado elections. Romanoff is also among those being discussed to replace Colorado Sen. Ken Salazar, who was tapped by President-elect Barack Obama to lead the Interior Department. To anyone who considering law school but thinks they can’t possibly squeeze it into a busy professional schedule, Romanoff has one thing to say: “Yes, you can.” “Obviously, I took longer than most people to finish. I did my reading on weekends, I took a lighter load,” he says. But now, looking back, Romanoff says he’s pleased he stuck with it and is happy to be moving forward with a degree in law. And as he puts down the books, at least for a little while, Romanoff says he’s overcome by one defining emotion: “Relief. A great sense of relief.” —Chase Squires

6 Teaching is both theoretical, practical for Meyer

In academia, a line is often drawn between those who are prac- titioners of a craft and those who study the craft. Michelle Meyer does both. The adjunct professor in the Daniels College of Business mar- keting department was presented the Ruth Murray Underhill Teaching Award at the University’s 2008 Convocation ceremony. The award is given annually in recognition of excellence in teaching by an adjunct faculty member. Meyer, currently the director of the Industrial Products Industry Group for Hitachi Consulting, has taught a logistics management class in Daniels’ supply chain program since 2003. She came to teach at Daniels on the invitation of Carol Johnson, associate professor and chair of the marketing department. The two met through the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. “I asked Michelle to first participate by giving a guest lecture in my logistics class, and the students loved her presentation,” Johnson says. After her guest lecturing became regular, Johnson asked Meyer to Hand washing study offers new weapon take on a class.

Moreover, if the message offers an easy way to avoid what’s disgust- WayneArmstrong ing, many students will change their ways. The 2007 study that led to these conclusions focused on getting stu- dents to wash their hands more often, particularly after using the bath- room. Fear of spreading germs or getting sick by not washing didn’t mean much to students, focus group research suggested. What got their atten- tion was the knowledge that they might be walking around with “gross things” on their hands if they didn’t wash. The findings are generating interest. Universities including UC Santa Barbara, Wyoming, Colorado State and CU–Colorado Springs are seeking to borrow DU’s techniques in hopes of improving student hand washing behavior on their campuses. In fall quarter 2007, researchers posted messages in the bathrooms of two DU undergraduate residence halls. The messages said things like “Poo on you, wash your hands” or “You just peed, wash your hands” and contained vivid graphics and photos. The messages resulted in increased hand washing among females by 26 percentage points and among males by 8 percentage points. “The grad students keep you on your toes,” says Meyer, noting Observations in two control dorms over the same four-week period that many of the graduate students are her peers, currently working in showed hand washing dipped 2 percentage points among females and the industry. “These folks are really sharp; they bring lots of perspective 21.5 percentage points among males. and can share real-world theory with the undergrads.” The study’s lead author, Renee Botta, associate professor in the Rather than requiring a class project, undergraduate students Department of Mass Communications and Journalism Studies, theorizes in Meyer’s class can participate in national logistics case competition. that the severe drop in hand washing among males might have been that “Each quarter I have three or four students who had no idea what the habit they brought to campus fell away the longer they were away transportation management is. One time an art major ended up in my from home and the more they were pressed by studies. Then, too, males class by default, but they always have a good time.” may require a secondary message beyond the “gross ones” that motivated “My goal is to get at least one or two converts [to the logistics women. industry] from each class,” she jokes. —Richard Chapman —Jordan Ames
