Sustainability Programs at the University of Colorado Denver

Initiatives

Periodically, the faculty and staff members of the University of Colorado Denver and the Anschutz Medical Campus initiate new intellectual and creative efforts that are larger in scope than the usual ones. Typically, these are multi- or interdisciplinary projects involving a significant number of individuals from more than one department, school or college and are launched or supported by significant internal and external funding. At the outset these are often referred to as “new initiatives” or “signature areas”; they may involve or lead to the formation of a center or institute, or they may remain more ephemeral efforts of fixed duration.

The University of Colorado Denver and the Anschutz Medical Campus is actively involved in creating a more seamless and integrated education experience for students from preschool through graduate level. This includes expanding students’ access to early learning, decreasing the achievement gap in elementary and middle school years, and helping to improve students’ college readiness and college success. The work of the university bolsters the P–20 education work that the governor’s office has fostered in Colorado, and supports the efforts of other institutions and organizations through collaborations.

P-20 initiatives at the university work toward enhancing teacher performance, creating applied research connected to teaching, learning and public policy, and improving the K-12 pipeline.
