It's important the Pioneer fans show up at this meeting to particpate in the process.
Looks like the event is predisposed to a lot of bias, though. An event about the system, made by the system...

This comment is very off mark. This event is not by the system but a student led initiative to define what it means to be a Pioneer. To those that define a Pioneer with Boone, those voices need to be heard. To those that define a Pioneer with Ruckus those voices need to be heard. Anon, I would appreciate your support and attendance at this event if you are in the Denver area. You obviously care enough to make a post on a message board, you ought to care enough to show up.
I don't go to DU, but if I did, I would come.
