Update about our events due to the coronavirus

In response to an official announcement from CU Denver regarding changes to the campus events policy, the School of Public Affairs will be holding all of our events virtually, unless otherwise indicated, until we are permitted to resume our in-person programming. This affects events such as our First Friday Breakfast and Criminal Justice Series, as well as our co-hosted events. Those not already on our events mailing list can subscribe to receive updates and invitations to our events.

Upcoming events

March First Friday with the School of Public Affairs-The Future of Higher Education for the CU System and CU Denver
| 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM
Cost/fee: Free
The Future of Higher Education for the CU System and CU Denver Prior to COVID-19, higher education was already undergoing transformation, with changes in state funding, student demographics, flexible curricula, questions about the value of degrees, and other challenges. Since the onset of the pandemic a year ago, higher education systems have been shaken up, with changes (and opportunities) likely to endure beyond the pandemic. Both the University of Colorado System and CU Denver are engaged in strategic planning efforts, so this is a great time to talk about these future challenges and opportunities. The School of Public Affairs is pleased to host a conversation with two nationally prominent leaders and two of the best thinkers about these issues.
