As the Denver offshoot of the flagship CU Boulder campus turns 50 this January, here are a few ways the institution wants to disrupt higher education for the better.
When University of Colorado Denver Chancellor Michelle Marks is asked what distinguishes the urban CU campus from other institutions, she gestures toward her office window overlooking the sprawling downtown Denver cityscape at 14th and Lawrence streets.
Achieving this goal would look like success outcome gaps across all demographics being reduced to zero, all faculty and staff finding purpose and belonging and opportunities to advance and other employers looking to emulate CU Denver’s model of inclusivity, according to the report. Additionally, Marks pointed to a program that teaches faculty how to create more inclusive classroom environments. Some departments, including introductory physics and integrative biology, have already participated in the program and found more students succeeding in what can be tricky “bottleneck courses” where students who struggle often drop the class or switch majors.
