The University of Colorado at ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ and the University of Colorado at Denver will sponsor a lecture on "The EU and European Monetary Union" by Christian Schneider on Sept. 30 at 3:30 p.m.

The Schneider lecture is the first in a series of events to launch a proposed new partnership program between CU-ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ and CU-Denver. The program, called BA-MSIB, will offer bachelor's and master's degrees in International Business.

"Our partnership with the CU-Denver BA-MSIB program is off to an exciting start, and we are looking forward to even more cooperative events of this type in the future," she said.
