This month saw commencement ceremonies for thousands of graduates across the four CU campuses.
Marlon Lynch is new to CU Boulder, but not new to public safety administration in university communities. His 30-year career has included serving in similar leadership roles at several institutions. “I’m really looking forward to being an actively engaged member of CU Boulder and the CU system – they go hand in hand. There are a lot of opportunities for us to be able to make our communities and our campuses safe, but also with the reality of knowing it won’t be done alone.”
Growth in the development and use of Open Educational Resources (OER) across the CU system is creating meaningful savings for students at the four campuses. OER supporters also can be found at the Capitol, including among the members and staff of the Joint Budget Committee (JBC). For years, Amanda Bickel, Chief Legislative Budget and Policy Analyst with the JBC Staff, has encouraged members of the General Assembly to make Colorado a leader in OER.
The scholarly work of Kimbra Smith, Ph.D., has led her across the globe. An associate professor of anthropology at UCCS, she spent much of this academic year in Ecuador, conducting sabbatical research on a Fulbright grant. But the threads of Smith’s research and teaching are tied very close to home, too. They run throughout a broad swath of the Colorado Springs area, inviting those who might rarely set foot on campus to learn more about the community and its connections to the liberal arts.
CU President Todd Saliman is pleased to announce the President's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Award recipients. This annual recognition honors individuals and units who have demonstrated exceptional dedication and significant contributions to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion across CU.
