We want to thank the many individuals who have reached out to us to share their affirmations of our university’s values of inclusion and respect over the course of the last day.

This afternoon, Colorado Governor Jared Polis announced K-12 teachers would begin to be vaccinated on February 8 to help protect them, their students, and their families from COVID-19.

Like many of you, the insurrection that occurred in our nation's capital last week has left me struggling to make sense of where we find ourselves as Americans, especially as it adds to the weight of so many other events that have taken place over the past year.

Welcome back! I hope you had a restful winter break and are looking forward to the spring semester as much as I am.
