brand eins Article

My school was contacted last spring by a writer for the German business magazine brand eins (described by the writer as a cross between Fortune and The New Yorker, don't know how accurate that is). They were doing a feature issue on education and wanted to find out more about our school, so the writer and a photographer came to Colorado and spent a day each at Arapahoe. The article ran in the May issue, but it's taken me a while to find someone to translate it.

Here's a PDF of the original article in German, which includes the pictures they used in the print edition. Here's a very rough English translation (without pictures), please note carefully the explanation at the beginning as well as some of my explanatory notes.
