Invention, entrepreneurship and impact across the University of Colorado were the focus of CU Innovation Day on Sept. 14, an event that drew more than 500 attendees to History Colorado in downtown Denver. With a theme of “Deep roots. New routes,” CU Innovation Day – held in partnership with Colorado Startup Week – celebrated the university’s 150-year history as a hub of bold ideas and innovation, and showcased work by the CU community that is changing the way we live and work and creating new possibilities for the future.
Katie Polidoro’s responsibilities at CU include overseeing the hearing and appeals processes for sexual misconduct cases systemwide, advising on policies and procedures, and assisting Vice President of Compliance and Equity and System Title IX Coordinator Valerie Simons in supporting the campuses’ equity offices, which report to the OERC. Polidoro discusses her approach to a seemingly ever-shifting civil rights landscape, her definition of professional success and the one thing she wants the CU community to know about the OERC.
