Â鶹ӰԺ

A new Research & Innovation Office program welcomes its inaugural cohort, which will play an important role in strengthening research and creative works leadership across and beyond the campus.

As we implement our vision of the future of CU Â鶹ӰԺ, we are modeling our values for our students and each other.

With the end of the semester in sight and many planning for the approaching holidays, I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude to each of you for your work and dedication over the past year.

The legislative proposals to change U.S. tax code currently circulating on Capitol Hill have potential impacts for higher education. CU leadership is sharing our concerns with our federal delegation, and I wanted to share this information with our community as well.

Since we began Academic Futures, I have been struck by a constant question from our campus community: "Is this for real?" It's a natural question, and the answer to all its variations is "yes."

I urge all students, faculty and staff to take a role in advancing the campus's commitment to being a diverse and inclusive community at the 23rd annual Diversity and Inclusion Summit Nov. 7–8.

After three concerning events on University Hill in recent weekends, students either called CU Police or posted on social media with the question: Why wasn't I immediately notified? Let me explain why.

Fall is hands-down my favorite time of the year. With Homecoming here and Halloween weekend approaching, I encourage everyone to celebrate responsibly and have fun.

I encourage the campus community to engage in creating our future, from participating in Academic Futures to the "short experiment" innovation grants. Everyone's ideas, creativity and input are needed and welcomed.

I'm pleased to report to you this week on several developments that mark important progress in our Academic Futures process, including the appointment of Academic Futures Committee members.
