The 2021 Annual State of the Campus was a two-part online series themed:
We will continue to make CU Boulder one of America’s leading public research universities; focus on the crucial work of ensuring our campus is a welcoming and inclusive place for all that live, work and study here; and ensure our academic mission and our students are supported by the financial and physical resources that our campus requires.
Chancellor DiStefano shares the vision and goals for this academic year:
A community is only as strong as the people who inhabit it. And it was the people across this campus who, without hesitation, answered the call to continue serving the CU Boulder community as we plunged into uncertainty in March 2020.
We are globally recognized for our research—as well as the comprehensive breadth and impact of our innovation, public scholarship and creative work—and we will continue to lead.
Research changes our world for the better—addressing problems and finding innovative solutions. Our faculty and students are leading research in many fields, including aerospace and space sciences, biosciences and health, climate, energy, and sustainability. Learn more about our research and how it’s making a positive impact on the world.
We, as a campus community, must continue the hard and ongoing work of ensuring CU Boulder is a diverse, inclusive and welcoming place for all who live, work and study here.

Buffs, your health and wellness is important to us. We encourage our campus community to explore the resources available to support you in these times, and we welcome all faculty, staff and students to join our Health & Wellness Summit.

Achieving our future success also depends on aligning our university's physical, digital and financial resources.
As one of America’s leading public research universities, CU Boulder is focused on creating a student-centered campus culture that enables the belonging and success of everyone in our community. Aligning our resources toward these values is vital to meeting the university’s mission.
All of these elements bring us back to successfully building a foundation that supports our research mission, and these pillars inform the purpose and direction of our role as one of the nation’s leading public research universities.
