Diversity Summit promotes inclusion at UCDHSC
 Members of the Blue Ribbon Commission on Diversity appointed by CU President Hank Brown are continuing to discuss and develop recommendations regarding UCDHSC. They're scheduled to deliver their findings to President Brown by April 10.
When the group gathered March 4 at St. Cajetan's on the Auraria Campus they heard from faculty, students, staff and administration representing both the downtown Denver and Health Sciences Center.
Provost Mark Heckler facilitated the day-long meeting that included presentations and panels discussing and describing our consolidated efforts to support diversity and inclusion.
A detailed report (http://thunder1.cudenver.edu/blueribbon/) prepared for and delivered in advance to the commissioners provided statistics on student enrollment, faculty and staff composition, and program descriptions. President offers reasons for optimism
Clearly, President Hank Brown knows what’s happening. The 21st president of the University of Colorado told nearly 60 downtown Denver campus staff, faculty and administrators that a choice for the finalist for the UCDHSC chancellor position was near, as was the death of post-tenure review bill HB 1284. Chancellor finalist hears importance of diversityM. Roy Wilson, MD , president of the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and finalist for the UCDHSC chancellor position, got the message that diversity is important to the downtown Denver campus community at an open forum Monday, March 13, at St. Cajetan’s.

Grandpa Suzuki a colorful addition to library
Jack Suzuki’s 5-foot 2-inches of smiles and sass seem contrary to his 92 years of age. In much the same way, his oil paintings in dramatic hues of red yellow and blue counter the dreary walls of the Auraria Library.
