The Department of Astrophysics and Planetary Science sponsors several public outreach programs serving the Boulder community and the Front Range community. These programs are designed to educate the public about astronomy through planetarium shows, telescope viewing nights, at school visits. We also have groups to support our students and to promote an inclusive community in Astronomy.

The APS department recognizes our scientific and educational missions are strengthened by contributions from diverse perspectives. We aim to promote a fair, inclusive, and supportive environment for all. As a member organization of the American Astronomical Society, our department adheres to their Code of Ethics and encourages all our faculty, students, and staff to do the same.
If you feel we have failed in this goal, or if there are any issues or areas of concern that the APS Executive Committee should be aware of, please use the Anonymous Issue Form.
