innovation. This year’s concert promises an unforgettable performance with

Michael and Glenda Monasch, Rosangela Silverstre, Nancy Smith, and Gina
Jacobs Thomas and student work by Sarah Bowers, Cortney McGuire and Charlie
Dando, DeShawn Marshall, and Stephanie Tuley. “NeXus 2010” will take place

exhilarating, delicate aerial piece meets a post modern, humorous and
explosive duet. A touching and powerful contemporary ballet solo meets a
dance piece, inspired by movements and rhythms from Brazil. The evening also

upheaval in the early 1900’s. "NeXus 2010" provides a stimulating variety of

More on how to get there...

Attached is the official flyer and below are links to the CU Campus map in Boulder. The Irey Theatre (also University Theatre) is closest to Broadway and College Ave. The link to the campus map is: http://www.colorado.edu/campusmap/map.pdf (it's building # 96). You can also check out http://www.colorado.edu/visit/directions/ and put in your starting address for directions to campus. If you're coming from Denver, I would recommend using mapquest or google maps and enter Broadway and College ave, Boulder, CO. as your end address.

If you choose to park on campus, an evening/weekend parking map can be found here:

It looks like you would have to pay to park on campus after 5pm weekdays, Sat and Sun. If you don't want to have to pay, you can park close to Broadway and College and walk in.

This question was asked by Philo Holland senior globalization advisor, philos collaborative partnerships, on LinkedIn recently.

* Include industry you’re working in, your profession or function, your country of origin(s) – Where were you born? Where did you live until the age of 7?

Here are some of the responses:

Babu Mohanan

CEO Phykon Solutions

I will say that globalization has changed my life totally. Now I am able to exchange ideas with a global community and it has give me a lot of hope and confidence in myself. Coming to my business, I am in the IT field and its very existence in my country depends on the globalization.
I am heading a company(as CEO) in a little known small town in India. Until the age of 7 I was living in a remote village close to a forest. I still hold memories of people going into forest to collect firewood.

Birthplace/until 7 yrs.: Nuernberg, Germany. Small village about 20 min. outside of Nuernberg.

In my industry globalization is a big part of the business. Since the idea of the Virtual Industry is that you can get assistance with your administrative needs from someone that is not located in your city or state or even country. So many things can be exchanged virtually these days, that I can promote my business to companies of all sizes in every corner of the world. And in this rather slow economy at the moment, it works to my clients advantage to use my services, rather then hiring a part time or full time person in their office, who they have to pay overhead expenses for. Since there are no overhead expenses to be paid for an independent contractor like myself, this can mean tremendous cost savings for my clients, plus they have more time in turn to focus on promoting their business globally, if they so desire.

Alvaro Arias

Regional Sales Manager at Schneider GmbH & Co. KG

I have lived in four countries. Am married to a lady born in a different continent where I was born. I email daily in different languages with people in different countries. I Skype with my parents, and talk to them regularly as if we would be sitting in the same table, as we did when we were living in the same city, some years ago.

At work, I am responsible for a geographical region which comprises many countries and cultures and obliges me to speak several languages. I take several planes every week, and can even take each meal in a single day in three different countries, and still sleep at home.

I would say this is globalization at 100% brought down to a quite basic level.
