As an institute of education, we have the responsibility to model our highest values for our students—a principle one being our commitment to welcoming, supporting, listening to and lifting up people from all backgrounds.
In many ways, building and participating in community today can feel like we are starting fresh due to forces like rapidly changing technology, globalization, increasing political division and cultural and demographic shifts.
Together, we can show the rest of high education that DU can adapt, change and transform to meet the needs of the 21st century
This tradition represents who we are: a community driven by authentic passion, curiosity and intellectual rigor. We keep the student academic experience at the forefront while continuing to push innovation, groundbreaking research and ethical leadership. Faculty and staff awards are an opportunity to reward those that empower us to work towards these values and ideals.
