Looking out over campus to the flatirons on a fall day.

ODECE’s role is to put the values of CU Boulder into practice. We lead by example, partnering with other departments and units across campus to create inclusive and equitable educational opportunities for all students.

Be inclusive. Be accessible. Be you. Be Boulder.

CU Boulder Exemplifies Excellence Through Diversity by:

  • Creating a welcoming and inclusive environment
  • Maximizing the success and inclusion of all students, staff and faculty
  • Engaging with diverse perspectives through a growth mindset

Representing the culminating work of the Committee, the Inclusion, Diversity and Excellence in Academics (IDEA) Plan is now ready to view in its completed form.

The IDEA Plan will serve as the evolving blueprint and guide for the entire campus on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

The IDEA Plan is also available as a fully accessible PDF.
