America鈥檚 relatively slow economic growth can be accelerated, as it has been in the past, according to Brian Domitrovic, visiting scholar in conservative thought and policy at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Domitrovic is scheduled to give a public talk on that subject at 6 p.m. April 14 at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, with registration and a community reception beginning at 5 p.m. The event, held in CMU鈥檚 , is free and open to the public. Registration is required and can be completed on this or by calling 303-860-5633 or emailing cuadvocates@cu.edu.
Domitrovic鈥檚 presentation is titled, 鈥淭he Easy Challenge of Economic Growth in the 21st Century: How We Can Shake the Slows, as We Did in the Past.鈥�
鈥淎merica has almost never had extended bouts of slow economic growth,鈥� Domitrovic notes.
鈥淥ur lot has been expansive opportunity, innovation, new heights of prosperity scaled and cleared. Every resource necessary to restore the now centuries-long tradition of economic growth is still available to us. Even our very recent history, of the 1960s, 1980s, and 1990s, is there to tell us, in fullness, how we can recapture the most vital of American traditions: that of economic growth.鈥�
Domitrovic, a historian who did graduate work in economics, is author of the standard history of supply-side economics, 鈥淓conoclasts: The Rebels Who Sparked the Supply-Side Revolution and Restored American Prosperity.鈥� He has written for The Wall Street Journal and Investor's Business Daily and has appeared frequently on television and radio. His biweekly column appears on Forbes.com.
The event will also highlight partnerships between 抖阴短视频 and the Mesa County community.
One partnership that continues to grow is the CMU and 抖阴短视频-Boulder mechanical-engineering program delivered entirely in Grand Junction. The first two years of the program are taught by CMU faculty, and the second two years of the program are taught by 抖阴短视频-Boulder faculty who live permanently in Grand Junction. Today, 49 students are enrolled.
Additionally, the 抖阴短视频 Cancer Center at the Anschutz Medical Campus partners with St. Mary鈥檚 Regional Cancer Center in Grand Junction. The relationship brings specialty oncology care to patients in Mesa County who may not be able to travel to metro Denver for specialized care. It also provides clinical trials for cancer survivors in the area.
抖阴短视频 also offers health care education to the Grand Junction community through the Western Colorado Area Health Education Center (AHEC) based in Grand Junction. The center provides personal health-care learning experiences for consumers and professional learning experiences for health care providers.
Tim Brower, director of the 抖阴短视频/CMU mechanical engineering partnership will speak briefly about that program.
The April 14 event is sponsored by Colorado Mesa University Associated Student Government and Political Science Club, the 抖阴短视频 Advocates Program in the Office of the President, 抖阴短视频-Boulder's College of Arts and Sciences and its Conservative Thought and Policy program.
Glen Gallegos, a Grand Junction resident who represents the 3rd Congressional District on the 抖阴短视频 Board of Regents, will also attend.
