This year has been a very unusual and trying time. But, as a Buff family, we have remained resilient. And as we continue in this journey together, I have some advice to help you make it through times of change and uncertainty.

President Kennedy held a discussion with three of his peers from across the country and across the political spectrum to discuss the importance of the Constitution to them personally, to their universities and to the nation.

As we move further into the fall semester, I want to thank you. I am truly appreciative of those who have been showing up for their fellow Buffs by following public health orders with our return to campus.

We acknowledge that the past several months have been a troubling and uncertain time. From COVID-19 to the killing of George Floyd and the solidarity marches, we want you to know that we hear you and we are with you.

To our students who are following health and safety protocols, thank you! To those who are choosing to disregard guidelines, this is a formal notice, and I want to make sure you are aware of the potential impacts to your educational experience.

I want all of our communities on campus, and our BIPOC communities in particular, to feel shared ownership over our progress.

Now that the semester is officially underway, it’s a good time to recap what the campus has done to date and provide the campus with another update.

As your dean of students, it is my honor to welcome you to CU Â鶹ӰԺ! This may not be how you envisioned the start of your first year as a Buff, but we are so excited that you’re here.

The new task force will evaluate community policing policies, practices and training and recommend steps to ensure that public safety works for the entire campus community.

This may not be how you envisioned the start of your year, but we are so excited you’re here. We have been working hard this summer to create a COVID-19-ready campus experience after leaving early last spring. Thank you for your patience, feedback and input.
