Transition. If one word characterized the Center for Humanities & the Arts in 2021-2022, it would be transition. The Center lost all its full-time staff by the end of March 2022, but we were aided by undergraduate and graduate part-time student workers, the babyÖ±²¥app steering committee, the community advisory board, and Graduate School staff. Transition may be a word that emblematizes much of arts and humanities since our fields are in states of flux and fluidity, a strength since we never want to feel stale or stagnant. To that end, this new Annual Report model reflects the transition we are making to a leaner and more agile CHA, one that continues to emphasize the vitality of arts and humanities at CU Boulder and beyond!

Sincerely,

Jennifer Ho, CHA Director
