Computer chips and transistors connected with circles of wire. Even a paper octagonal souvenir from a software conference. Boyan got the idea for the department ornaments from a colleague at Colorado State University, Sherry Case. Boyan and Case are members of the Collegiate Information and Visitor Services Association. Word of the original tree ornaments has gotten around, even after only one year, Boyan says.
People come down and look.
It s a great way to tie the community and university together. Boyan welcomes more ornaments this year. So far, International Programs has submitted a lacquered globe ornament with a dove carrying an olive branch. ICNE also sent a teddy bear dressed as a nurse. Interested department representatives can drop by the depot in person to deliver their creations, or Boyan offers to pick them up as well.
