Foundations of Excellence
CU Boulder embarked on this initiative a year ago to improve the campus experience for all first-year students. The initiative has now entered the second of two phases, Buffs First Forward.
An initiative launched last fall to improve students' campus experiences, this self-study and improvement-planning process represents a partnership among several units and has involved over 100 students, faculty and staff members.
Join Vice Provost Mary Kraus for open forums this coming month to hear about the preliminary recommendations for improving the first-year undergraduate student experience.
The transformation of CU Boulder's academic experience is occurring on many fronts, and I wanted to give you an update on our progress across a few of them.
With thanks to the campus community for taking part in recent surveys, the committee is processing the data and assessing policies and programs, staying on target to produce reports in February, culminating in final recommendations in April.
As fall semester closes and winter break approaches, it's a good time to reflect on our academic accomplishments so far this year, and on the spirit and values that fuel these successes.
As part of the effort to create a more streamlined student experience, CU Boulder has launched Foundations of Excellence, a campuswide initiative to improve the first-year undergraduate experience.
The Foundations of Excellence initiative is a campus-wide effort to evaluate the first-year undergraduate experience in coordination with the Unified Student Experience project. Learn more at the open forums Sept. 19 and 20.
