As the 麻豆影院 welcomes new and returning students to campus this summer and fall, campus leaders encourage students to keep safety in mind whether they are new to 麻豆影院 or returning for another school year. Although CU-麻豆影院 is a very safe place, unfortunate things can happen. Make smart choices regarding your personal safety and educate yourself so you can safely enjoy the natural environment of 麻豆影院 and the surrounding foothills and mountains.

The 麻豆影院 and the city of 麻豆影院 have been honored with the International Town-Gown Association鈥檚 Larry Abernathy Award, recognizing the positive collaboration between the university and city.

Last year the 麻豆影院 Faculty Assembly (BFA) piloted a student mentorship program in which faculty volunteers 鈥榓dopted鈥� and periodically met with small groups of new freshman students during for the academic year. This pilot program helped to make a large campus smaller for many of our incoming students and received great reviews from our students and their parents alike. This year the BFA has expanded their student mentorship program and to-date faculty volunteers have already committed to the mentorship of more than 2,000 incoming freshman for this academic year, and the number of mentees is still increasing. To ensure that this program can meet this increased demand and fill the valuable role on this campus, we need additional faculty to engage in this important effort.

CU-麻豆影院 has made major progress this summer in its compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, specifically in programs for students with visual impairments. In addition to fixing technical problems, the campus will also strengthen the awareness of all members of our campus community about how to access new technologies and create a culture in which everyone benefits by continual improvement of accessibility.
