Today, Governor Jared Polis released a statement following the passing of Former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
“Today, we mourn the loss of a true pioneer and history-maker with proud, deep roots in Colorado where her family moved when she was a young girl. Coloradans, Americans, and people around the world will be indebted to her service. Secretary Albright went on to serve as the first female U.S. Secretary of State, carrying with her a legacy of firsts. My heart goes out to former Secretary Albright’s loved ones and the international community, where her life continues to teach our nation and the world lessons of determination, wisdom, and grace in times of peace or unrest.”
Sec. Albright’s father, Joseph Korbel was the University of Denver’s first school of international studies dean.
