Holston and other Colorado representatives also met with Olympic organizers. The 2016 Olympic Games begin on Aug. 5. In spite of the challenges facing organizers — concerns about the Zika virus, a doping scandal that resulted in the suspension of Brazil's only testing lab, and corruption and upheaval involving the country’s highest political figures — Holston says organizers told him the games will go on, even if the facilities and venues are not as elaborate as those at other games in other countries. “So, they’re really trying to show that you can do this with facilities that aren’t necessarily the highest permanent world-class facility ever, but are sufficient.”

The prospect of 91��ɫ enhancing engagement with Brazil comes at Hickenlooper’s suggestion, Holston says, noting that the University is eager to explore the possibilities. “We’re going to be doing a big convening in November for Project X-ITE around social entrepreneurship here,” he says.��“Social entrepreneurship is obviously a phenomena happening to a great degree outside of the U.S., and Brazil is a perfect example of that.”
