Through the Data Advocacy for All initiative, CU Boulder and CU Denver are helping students develop skills to use data not just for analysis, but for impact. Now, thanks to a CU Next Award from the CU system, the project is expanding data humanities education and giving students new opportunities to learn how to ethically interpret, communicate and apply data to real-world challenges.

Wildfire risk in Colorado and the U.S. is growing at an alarming rate, putting more homes and lives in danger than ever before. The growing threat prompts more education about wildfire risk and mitigation, and every community faces different challenges. Effective strategies for advancing resistance and resilience are increased when researchers and community practitioners work together. The WiRē (Wildfire Research) Center, a nonprofit formed by researchers and practitioners involved with wildfire prevention, resilience and research, works to support the efforts of both groups through collaborative projects.
