About the University of Colorado Denver's Vision

Vision

As the downtown Denver campus of the University of Colorado system, we interpret out mission as advancing the creation, dissemination, and application of knowledge in a culture of excellence. Its boundaries are flexible and permeable, with knowledge flowing to and from the schools and colleges, the community, and the world. This view is global rather than local as UCD seeks to link teaching, research, and service to the major issues of the 21st century.

• mutual respect for all members of the university community - students, faculty, and staff
• excellence in all areas
• collaboration among faculty, students, staff, and the community in the learning process
• the power of community in teaching, learning, and scholarship
• creativity, innovation, and flexibility
• service to the public good
• personal growth and professional success
• cultural diversity and enrichment
