Community Edition Winter 2024

Dear friends of the Graduate School,

Welcome to the inaugural edition of the community edition of the Graduate School newsletter.

There have been many exciting things happening this year within the Graduate School, from being named a Sloan Center for Systemic Change to welcoming the Colorado Diversity Initiative under our umbrella, and we want you—our alumni, donors, staff and, of course, students—to know all that there is to know twice a year.

We hope you enjoy the stories we have picked out to highlight those changes and that you connect with us through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or LinkedIn, or on our website.

Sincerely,

ESA
