CU Boulder Where You Are: An Online Series Highlighting Teaching, Research and Innovation, took the place of Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano’s annual visits to communities across Colorado with coaches or academic experts. The in-person state outreach tour was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The first season’s format allows alumni, friends, students and parents to join in an engaging discussion and learn more about the state’s flagship campus and the breadth and depth of its many academic disciplines, along with arts, culture and athletics.
Each series segment is produced in a talk show format with various experts. The series is free and open to the public.
