If you are new to LetsGoDU or just like to reminisce about the past, we are republishing an article from The University of Denver Magazine from October 22nd, 2010 entitled Alum Works to Build School Spirit. The article is about Damien Goddard and his efforts to build school spirit at DU. On his own, from Houston, Texas, Damien created LetsGoDU and published over 6000 articles and stories. Many of us in distant cities made LetsGoDU our first read of the day. He also designed, developed, and still supports Denver’s ‘unofficial mascot’ Denver Boone. Known for his ability to create excitement and organize big events, Goddard pushed the boundaries of school administrators but was always a steadfast friend of DU athletics, coaches, students, and alums. As we move into our second year of the renewed and refurbished LetsGoDU, we have always tried to make Damien proud in everything we do.
