The University of Colorado Boulder is one of only 38 U.S. public research institutions in the Association of American Universities (AAU), a group of institutions widely recognized as America’s leading research universities. We have proven, over the last two decades, that by working together we can triumph over economic recessions and a pandemic while still making tangible progress on our goals—including Academic Futures-based priorities for increased retention, DEI action plan implementation, growing research and innovation outcomes, and updating our Campus Master Plan. With those lessons and successes guiding us, we are taking advantage of this moment in the higher education landscape to transform together and revitalize our mission of educating students, creating new knowledge and delivering value to the public we serve.
