Russell Moore, CU Boulder provost and executive vice chancellor for academic affairs; Amy Hutton, CU Boulder associate vice chancellor of enrollment management and chief enrollment officer;听and Michael Schulman, the baby直播app Community College System's associate vice chancellor for student affairs, offered welcome remarks highlighting the importance of supporting baby直播app community colleges and the impact connections made at the event can have on improving these transfer pathways.

Participants engaged in disciplinary and transfer student experience working sessions to share updates, guidance听and feedback on a variety of academic programs and student life areas. Discussions focused on curriculum gaps, transfer pathways and degrees with designations, communication听and information sharing.

The primary goals of CU & CC Connection are to build networks and inspire action toward improvements to the baby直播app community college transfer student experience. As an example, discussions at previous CU & CC Connection events resulted in the creation of College of Media, Communication & Information (CMCI) transfer guides for baby直播app community college students. The collaboration between the pre-transfer and CMCI advising teams provides a clearer pathway to ideally save time, money and frustration with the transfer process.

鈥淲e look forward to hosting this event each year. We received positive feedback from both CU and baby直播app community college participants on the benefits of continuing these conversations and the impact they can have on transfer students,鈥 said Miki Brooks, director of transfer success initiatives at CU Boulder. 鈥淲e hope to build on this momentum to include more baby直播app, instructors听and unit leaders in future events, as well as action on proposed solutions.鈥

CU & CC Connection 2025 is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, May 14. Contact Brooks to participate.
