Â鶹ӰԺ

Since 1987, the University Perspective program has developed and deepened the leadership capacity of staff on the Â鶹ӰԺ campus. Participants gain firsthand knowledge of the university through meetings with senior leaders on the Â鶹ӰԺ campus and each of the other three campuses in the CU System and the CU System Office. The program is sponsored by Organizational and Employee Development (OED) in the Department of Human Resources. Applications are being accepted for the 2024-25 program.
