Vision
As the downtown Denver campus of the University of Colorado System, the University of Colorado Denver (UCDHSC) interprets its 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 UCDHSC seeks to link teaching, research and service to the major issues of the 21st century.
