“I am awed by biodiversity. What processes allow many species to live together in the same locality? How are collections of diverse species assembled and how do they function”- Sharon Strauss, PhD. Sharon Strauss is an evolutionary ecologist and is Distinguished Professor Emerita of Evolution and Ecology at the University of California, Davis. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the National Academy of Sciences. In her talk, Sharon will dissect how the evolutionary relationships between species affect the likelihood of their coexistence in local communities.

Annual events in Crested Butte and Gunnison

Gunnison Valley is also host to several beloved annual events. A classic winter event is The Alley Loop, a Nordic ski race that doubles as a costume contest. In fall, Mt. Crested Butte hosts the famous Chili and Beer Festival. Every summer in Gunnison, a crowd gathers to watch America’s fourth-oldest rodeo, Cattlemen’s Days. There are also festivals in Crested Butte that celebrate local art, music, wildflowers, and more. Attending an annual event is a good way to connect with the culture of the Gunnison Valley. You might even create a new tradition for you and your family and friends!
