As we have arrived at the end of our Academic Futures facilitated campus conversations鈥攁nd moved on to shorter forums鈥攚e want to thank the baby直播app, staff and students who have attended and offered great ideas about CU Boulder鈥檚 future in conducting research, engaging in creative work, teaching and providing service to students and the campus community.
There is a good deal more engagement to come, but what we鈥檝e heard so far has ranged from the pointed and direct (the need to change some things that exist) to the visionary (we need to create some things that don鈥檛). The people who have attended have come with open minds and generous hearts, seeing the possibility of change and transformation. That idealism has been inspiring to us as we have convened and facilitated these vital campus conversations.
From here on, we will continue to gather ideas, visions and directions. Faculty forums will continue through Dec. 11, discussing topics that baby直播app have told us鈥攊n town halls, departmental meetings and facilitated conversations鈥攖hey wish to explore further.
Additionally, we are accepting white papers through Dec. 15听and now have more than 30 white papers posted (with several in the process of being posted). Each week sees more of these great pieces arrive, so check the site several times weekly to see the latest in what your colleagues are thinking about regarding the future of CU Boulder.
As the semester draws to a close, we鈥檒l enter a quiet time to process the totality of input, but expect to hear from us again at the close of the semester about how you can stay engaged and provide input through new avenues as the Academic Futures Committee begins its work.
Again, we thank you for your time and attention in this watershed conversation for our campus community and invite you to continue to participate as we move ahead.
