Last week, CMU's Environmental Science program took students up to the Grand Mesa for a Water Quality Lab. Every year, Water Quality students are tasked with assessing the health of the Plateau Creek Watershed, where they practice measuring water quality parameters including water chemistry, macroinvertebrate diversity, river discharges, stream structures, and evaluate whether streams are functioning properly.

Students learn how to work effectively in field conditions, which can differ from what they learn in the classroom. CMU produces students who are ready to navigate through complex, unexpected conditions, out in the field and in the real world.

Resilience is about bouncing back. Anti-fragility is about coming back stronger.

That concept drives the research of Davis School of Business Professor Abdulah Bajaba, DBA, who studies how individuals and organizations grow through disruption, whether that's shifting customer needs, new technology, or unexpected change.

In the classroom, he brings those ideas to life through simulations, group negotiations and discussions that connect theory to his students' own experiences. His goal is simple: send students out of every class with one concept they truly understand and can apply in their careers and lives.
