The annual Boulder Faculty Assembly Excellence Awards took place Wednesday, April 19, at the University Memorial Center. The awards recognize outstanding work and a concerted effort to make advances in the academy, particularly in three areas: Excellence in Leadership and Service; Excellence in Research, Scholarly and Creative Work; and Excellence in Teaching and Pedagogy.

Excellence in Leadership and Service recognizes the importance of leadership and service as indispensable features of faculty responsibilities; Excellence in Research, Scholarly and Creative Work recognizes the importance of research, scholarly and creative work as integral parts of faculty achievements; and Excellence in Teaching and Pedagogy recognizes the importance of teaching and mentoring students as significant components of faculty duties.

The chancellor provides financial support for the awards. The 2023 award monetary prize is $5,000.

At the ceremony, the previous year’s Hazel Barnes Prize winner Mark Ablowitz gave a faculty address.

Since 1992, the Hazel Barnes Prize has been awarded each year to a CU Boulder faculty member who exemplifies the enriching relationship between teaching and research, and whose work has had a significant impact on students, faculty, colleagues and the university.

Perspectives on democracy headlined this year’s chancellor summit Anonymous (not verified) Wed, 03/15/2023 - 17:44

CU Boulder community members gathered on March 14 at History Colorado in Denver for the Chancellor’s Annual Summit. The large crowd heard from faculty experts on this year’s theme: democracy and social mobility in a pluralistic society.

The summit, including a reception, exhibit hall and questions from the audience, was hosted by Chancellor Philip DiStefano, who gave opening remarks. DiStefano described the importance of coming together in the face of a nation and world that feels increasingly fractured.

“The distrust and the division that are so pervasive are also a reminder that yes, our democracy matters, and it’s worth preserving its tenets,” he said. DiStefano also talked about hope.

In short talks, guest speakers Violeta Chapin, Taylor Jaworski, Reiland Rabaka and John-Michael Rivera discussed topics ranging from undocumented people living in the United States to Martin Luther King Jr. 's concept of the beloved community. The conversations also touched on economic constraints versus prosperity and the emergence of Mexican America.

Questions from audience members covered intersectionality; the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program; the environment and economic growth; and ChatGPT.
