We present our multi-wavelength observing campaign of the afterglow of GRB 090313, a GRB at redshift z=3.37. The robotic 30-inch optical Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) began observations of the GRB's optical afterglow starting only minutes post-burst, capturing a significant brightening phase. Our excellent coverage of this bright afterglow also includes observations from the 1.3m Peters Automated Infrared Imaging Telescope (PAIRITEL), the Small and Moderate Aperture Research Telescope System (SMARTS) 1.3m, as well as imaging and spectroscopy from Gemini-South. We combine our optical/NIR data with the Swift X-ray Telescope observations of the burst's X-ray afterglow and radio data from the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-Wave Astronomy (CARMA) to model the afterglow's spectral and temporal behavior.
