Established in 1876, CU-Boulder is a dynamic community of scholars and learners situated on one of the most spectacular college campuses in the country. As Colorado's flagship university, CU-Boulder attracts superb faculty, staff and students to strong academic programs in the sciences, engineering, business, law, arts, humanities, education, music and many other disciplines. The campus offers more than 3,400 courses each year in 150 areas of study. Talented undergraduate students participate in honors programs, undergraduate research, study abroad opportunities, and residential academic programs featuring small class environments in their residence halls. Ours is a diverse learning community with students from more than 100 countries and all 50 states offering a broad range of perspectives from varying backgrounds. Yet CU-Boulder also is Colorado's university of choice, with 67 percent resident students. This is a momentous time at CU-Boulder. Visionary goals developed in conjunction with the citizens of Colorado are becoming a reality. “Flagship 2030: Serving Colorado, Engaged in the World,” is a strategic plan that builds on our strengths while preparing our students for career and contribution in the 21st century global society. Students today, tomorrow and long into the future will be beneficiaries of this plan, as will the citizens of Colorado. Flagship 2030 reflects the ideas of hundreds of CU's constituents and will transform the university for decades to come. In addition, I am particularly enthusiastic about our interdisciplinary work in aerospace engineering, biotechnology, geosciences and the environment, and sustainable and renewable energy, all areas in which CU-Boulder has become world renowned. The benefits of our work are felt across the state and around the world fulfilling the mission and role of a great public university dedicated to advancing the public good. CU-Boulder also is home to many cultural treasures including the new Visual Arts Complex opening in spring 2010. It will be a gateway to the arts at CU, housing the University of Colorado Art Museum and the Department of Art and Art History. I hope you have an opportunity to visit our beautiful campus in person to see what makes CU special as a national comprehensive research university. It is with great pride that I welcome you to CU!
