Provost Moore and SVC Fox discuss the campus's new Academic Futures initiative and the importance of the current "what" phase before we get to the "how" phase.
We are deeply disappointed about today's White House decision to end DACA and will take full advantage of the six-month grace period to make a compelling case for the program.
As the leaders of the University of Colorado, we cherish our DACA students and add our voices urging Congress to quickly find a pathway that will allow current and future undocumented students, all of whom have spent years being educated in the U.S., to complete their studies without fear for their futures.
College life offers students a rich array of choices when it comes to meeting new people, engaging in new opportunities and exploring new concepts and ideas.
As part of the Buff community, know that we are here to support you, and you are a member of a university that prides itself on creating a vibrant, welcoming and engaging environment for all.
Thousands of students will arrive as move-in and Fall Welcome events begin Aug. 20. I want to thank faculty and staff in advance for their help, patience, sacrifice and volunteerism during such a busy and important time.
The process of defining our goals and aspirations for the College of Arts and Sciences will be extensive and dynamic, including engagement and input among all key constituencies.
The interim appointment of Jim White as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences provides a key opportunity for our community to explore the goals, vision and roadmap for the future of the college and our university.
I am asking the campus to take a collaborative and integrated approach as we work to break down silos and ensure good training related to the university’s response to sexual assault and intimate partner abuse.
