CU President Todd Saliman traveled to Washington, D.C., earlier this month to meet with Colorado’s congressional delegation and to advocate for higher education and the university.

Saliman’s two-day visit to the nation’s capital included meetings with Sen. Michael Bennet and Reps. Diana DeGette, Joe Neguse, Jason Crow, Lauren Boebert, Jeff Hurd and Jeff Crank.

Among the topics Saliman discussed with the Colorado congressional members were the importance of federal funding for research as well as facility and administrative expense reimbursements across CU’s campuses; quantum; artificial intelligence; legislation regarding Name, Image, and Likeness rights for college athletes; and Space Command.

Saliman was joined by Senior Vice President of External Relations and Strategy Danielle Radovich Piper, members of CU’s Government Relations team and CU School of Medicine Dean John Sampson, who highlighted the significance of medical research and clinical care in Colorado.
