CU Diversity Summit - November 10th

CU Boulder’s work towards a more inclusive, diverse and equitable environment is always situated within the broader context of our society. We are linked to the social climate of our campus, region, state and nation. The sessions in this year’s remote Diversity Summit will explore the multiple intersecting events impacting our immediate community, which in turn affect our broader communities.

The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has changed how we learn, teach and work, and has altered the ways we create inclusive communities while physically separated. This has deepened the meanings of resilience and service. With this in mind, staff are invited to virtually attend the Fall 2020 Diversity Summit and extend the conversation around the summit theme to build awareness, foster community and connections; and to equip participants with actionable ideas and strategies to move our campus to one where inclusion is central to our identity.

The Diversity and Inclusion Summit is free and open to all CU Boulder staff.
