So what’s the first thing that happens when Jim Shore announces he’s going to retire as chancellor of the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center? His picture shows up on a wanted poster.
Not to worry, though. It’s cool.
The posters weren’t in the post office. They were invitations to a fundraising gala at which the Denver chapter of ARCS (Achievement Rewards for College Scientists) would pay tribute to Shore’s distinguished career.
