The program is centered around a competency-based curriculum that takes into account prior education that may be eligible for credit. Students can take up to three courses at the same time to earn the diploma, and evening and weekend classes are offered.
Those accepted into the program are required to meet with an advisor to evaluate course placement and assist with onboarding.
'Students can complete the program in as little as five weeks or take up to one year to finish if they stay on track with the work,' said Josh Morgolin, program director. 'Advisors are provided to assist with program planning and to help design an academic path toward additional certification and degrees for those interested, as well as to assist with employment and career guidance.'

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's attorneys fined for inaccurate, AI-generated brief
DENVER (KDVR) – Two attorneys who were representing MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell in a defamation case in Denver are facing thousands of dollars in fines for submitting an inaccurate, AI-generated brief to the court in April. The McSweeny Synkar and Kachouroff PLLC law firm and attorney Christopher Kachouroff are facing 'jointly and severally' a sanction of $3,000. Attorney Jennifer DeMaster is also facing a $3,000 fine for the matter. Judge Nina Wang pointed out about 30 defective citations in a brief filed by the attorneys in February. The defects ranged from failing to include basic court information to citations of cases that do not exist. Wang, in her ruling, included an exchange in court wherein Kachouroff said he and DeMaster had signed and certified the brief. The court began by asking Kachouroff if the motion was generated by generative artificial intelligence. 'Not initially. Initially, I did an outline for myself, and I drafted a motion, and then we ran it through AI,' Kachouroff reportedly told the court. He was also asked if he had double-checked citations from the brief. 'Your Honor, I personally did not check it. I am responsible for it not being checked,' Kachouroff told the court, according to the ruling. Wang said she did not extend the sanctions to the defendants in the case — which would include Mike Lindell — because Kachouroff said he did not tell his clients he was using AI tools in his work. The defamation case against Lindell concluded last month, after a jury found that Lindell made multiple defamatory statements against Eric Coomer, a former employee of Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems, in regards to the results of the 2020 presidential election. On May 9, 2021, Lindell attacked voting machine companies and then said Coomer was a traitor. In another statement, on April 6, 2022, Lindell accused Coomer of being 'part of the biggest crime this world has ever seen.' The jury cleared Lindell of defaming Coomer eight other times for statements made by both himself and others who appeared on his online media platform.

New restaurant, bar and entertainment development approved in Lone Tree
DENVER (KDVR) — Lone Tree may soon be home to a new pet-friendly indoor and outdoor entertainment destination. City Council on Tuesday approved a purchase and sale agreement for a new development at the former Treo site, where the Texas-born company Truck Yard plans to develop an indoor and outdoor gathering space with a bar, restaurant and entertainment venue. 4th of July in Denver: DJ sets and one of the largest hot-dog eating contests in the West Truck Yard was established in 2013 and now has five locations across Texas and Oklahoma, each featuring large outdoor patios with decorations designed by local artists and rotating food trucks that bring a variety of local culinary talent. The whole family is welcome at Truck Yard, even pets, and there will be plenty of entertainment with yard games and free live music every day. 'During my visit to a Truck Yard location last fall, I saw firsthand the kind of vibrant atmosphere and unique experience it will bring to our community,' Lone Tree Mayor Marissa Harmon said in a press release. 'It will be a truly special addition that enhances the revitalized vibrancy of our entertainment district.' Harmon said redevelopment of the city's entertainment district is a priority, and this approval is a step toward making Lone Tree a place with something for everyone. The city plans to sell the property to Truck Yard for $2.2 million, a drop from the $3.85 million that the city paid for the property in November 2023, which the city said is a 'strategic investment' to advance the city's vision of a vibrant entertainment district. The city added that sales taxes generated by the development will allow the city to recoup its investment relatively quickly. The agreement secures the 3.3-acre property located at 9070 Maximus Drive for Truck Yard, but the sale will not be finalized until the company completes inspections and other necessary steps like a site improvement plan detailing the vision for the property, the city said. Plans will then need to be approved by City Council, a process which the city said is expected to take about six months. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
