Involvement is a significant part of the college experience. For our student cadets, involvement is not only important, it's often fundamental to their personal and professional development.

As the fall Diversity and Inclusion Summit comes to a close, the powerful conversations and evolving ideas do not. We continue to work toward "finding our way," not without an array of community-building opportunities and learning, resource and support options.

When Dakota Brummel started at CU Boulder, he saw an opportunity to enhance the transition experience to maintain the sense of camaraderie veterans form while serving our nation.

CU Boulder will honor the nation's veterans, including CU's own student, staff and faculty veterans, during a Nov. 10 ceremony at the University Memorial Center and the Nov. 11 football game.

Drawing hundreds of attendees so far, the two-day summit is off to a great start, featuring engaging dialogues and sessions on everything from race relations in sports to DACA and Dreamers.

For CU Boulder student Tanner Scholvin, transitioning from military to university was a new experience. When our veterans return home, it's our job to provide support and resources.

Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity and Community Engagement Bob Boswell discusses how the Diversity and Inclusion Summit fits into the university's strategy on diversity and inclusive excellence.

Appearances by skeletons, anime characters and video game personalities made for a delightful scene on campus, flanked by an eerie whisper of morning cloud cover over the Flatirons.

Events on campus include a dance recital around "women's issues are human issues"; a talk on keeping politics from derailing climate action; a look at the consequences of the Little Ice Age; an understanding of Earth's energy balance from space; and more.
