As our spring semester hits full stride, I want to remind us of the standards of conduct we hold ourselves to and our need to remain vigilant in protecting and supporting each member of our community. We face persistent challenges in our efforts to foster a truly inclusive CU Boulder, and we share responsibility for enabling a safe, welcoming campus for all.

The award is designed to recognize campus members who have effectively worked to promote the principles of making excellence inclusive in teaching, leadership, community engagement and more.
