Education
Saeta received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Colorado in 1979. The institution was founded in 1876, the same year Colorado became a state, and it is now the flagship campus of the University of Colorado system.
She later received a Juris Doctor from Georgetown University Law Center in 1988. Georgetown Law began in 1870, when the directors of Georgetown University established a separate department to train lawyers, and it was the first law school established in the United States by a Jesuit institution. The school moved from offering LL.B. degrees to awarding J.D. degrees beginning in the 1960s.
