During a recent visit to the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, CU President Todd Saliman engaged with students, faculty and campus leaders to discuss the groundbreaking medical and technological advancements shaping the campus's impact. The visit highlighted CU Anschutz’s dedication to research, inclusivity and community support.

In a meeting with shared governance groups, student senate leaders outlined key initiatives, including supporting students facing food insecurity through the campus food pantry, which has become an essential resource for some in the campus community. Saliman expressed his admiration for CU Anschutz’s efforts to address student needs and foster a supportive environment.

Deans and department leaders shared reports on progress and strategies for diversifying faculty to better represent Colorado’s demographics. Although each college is advancing at different rates, they all recognize the importance of having health care professionals who reflect the communities they serve. This commitment to inclusivity helps enhance patient trust and health outcomes, aligning with CU Anschutz’s broader goals.

Saliman also met with faculty and researchers leading innovative work in immunotherapy, a field in which CU Anschutz is making significant strides.

Saliman noted how the campus’s dedication to bold thinking, disciplined science and inclusivity not only strengthens the university’s position as a leader in health care, but also reflects our commitment to improving lives in Colorado and beyond. Through transformative research and a compassionate approach to health care, CU Anschutz continues to make an invaluable impact.
