Reflecting on the past year of research and innovation at the University of Colorado Boulder, the word that comes to mind is "resilience." I'm proud that we attracted $767 million in funding. I'm even more proud of all we are accomplishing as we face both familiar and new challenges. 


What accomplishments? 

The knowledge and experience our students are gaining, the discoveries our researchers are making, the pioneering scholarship and creative output our faculty are producing, and a commitment to innovation that's turning these advances into impact and opportunities for people in Colorado and beyond.
