Strategic Initiatives

Whether you're a student, staff or faculty member, here are some of the top reasons and sessions to join at the spring Diversity and Inclusion Summit, to be held at the University Memorial Center.

In its ongoing effort to support student success, the Office of Undergraduate Education is expanding the list of courses invited to participate in the midterm course alert process this spring.

As our spring semester hits full stride, I want to remind us of the standards of conduct we hold ourselves to and our need to remain vigilant in protecting and supporting each member of our community. We face persistent challenges in our efforts to foster a truly inclusive CU Boulder, and we share responsibility for enabling a safe, welcoming campus for all.

One year into the solution design phase of the Financial Futures initiative, campus community members have generated over 570 ideas with the goal of aligning strategic resources more closely with CU Boulder’s mission as a public teaching and research university.

The campus is continuing to engage in year three of Academic Futures—implementing the strategic initiatives’ themes and projects and transforming them into the campus’s work priorities.

Philip DiStefano has appointed CU system Vice President, University Counsel and Secretary of the Board of Regents Patrick O’Rourke interim executive vice chancellor and chief operating officer beginning Feb. 20.

What began as an initiative is proving to be a robust, data-informed process by which the best ideas from all areas of campus can be reviewed, prioritized and implemented. In 2020, we will focus on transitioning to a more regular, ongoing manner of aligning our resources with our mission.

This fall marked year three of Academic Futures. Read about the progress so far this year on the campus’s four priority themes and projects, along with concurrent work on other Academic Futures themes and projects.

With the Thanksgiving holiday upon us, please know that I am personally thankful for your hard work and dedication to diversity, equity and inclusive excellence.

Provost Russ Moore and Chief Operating Officer Kelly Fox invite you to revisit the Sept. 25 CU Boulder talk by labor futurist Heather McGowan, which focuses on how higher education institutions can confront the changing nature of work.
