paper
- The authors argue for a stronger emphasis on students understanding and developing their strengths via peer coaching and other support mechanisms as embodied in the CliftonStrenghts Program.
- The author argues that the ATLAS institute should be returned to its status as a student-centered resource given that students funded the complex that houses the institute.
- The authors outline a process of “Transformative IT” that brings people together from different academic backgrounds in an collaborative and engaged process where all project stakeholders, along with IT, work together at the same table from the start to prioritize and successfully execute a vision in a timely manner.
- The authors offer suggestions on how to overcome what they view to be the greatest challenges to working across disciplinary boundaries at CU Boulder in the areas of teaching, curriculum, and research.
- The authors argue that CU will be best served by helping labs meet their individual scientific and fiscal goals rather than by imposing “one-size-fits-all” policies across campus, which will prevent some labs from thriving and from successfully serving a broad off-campus user community.
- The authors describe the process of gathering best practices and surveying students to “rethink the English major.”
- The authors propose ways to increase communication and more coordinated outreach related to scientific and environmental research at CU Boulder and in the Boulder science community at large.
- The authors suggest a series of steps to improve climate, gender equity, parental leave and childcare as core issues central to gender equity on campus.
- The author proposes the founding of the cross-campus and cross-college Sustainable Solutions Collaboratory to serve as a clearinghouse, curator, and applied learning and engagement hub at CU Boulder.
- The authors explain the professional and ethical (rather than recreational) relevance of humanities, and especially, literary and cultural studies of foreign countries while proposing steps that would highlight the professional aspects of the humanities at CU Boulder.
