Our aim is to bring together graduate students from various departments and colleges involved in arts and humanitiesalongside faculty and administrators who support CU Boulder graduate students.
Through a salon format, we empower graduate students to lead small table conversations on the challenges within arts and humanities graduate education. Our focus is on cultivating an environment where graduate students' perspectives take center stage, enabling collective dialogues to tackle these challenges collaboratively. This salon serves as a platform for understanding, fostering dialogue, and identifying resources to address shared concerns. Faculty, staff, and administrators are encouraged to participate by listening and fostering a deeper understanding of the graduate student experience and collectively working towards solutions.
This salon is part of the CHA’s 2023– 2024academic programming theme “Liberty, Freedom, Democracy: The Fight for Ideas”. Food will be provided for all registered attendees. For additional event information or questions about this event, please reach out to the CHAat cu-cha@colorado.edu.
