I know many of you have been very anxiously awaiting a decision about Spring Commencement 2020.
I’m writing to you today to provide a few more details about how the University will begin, very gradually, a five-phase plan to bring employees back to campus to do their work safely and in compliance with orders from the state of Colorado and city of Denver.
I want to provide updates on five important topics: the state of fiscal year 2020, summer 2020, fall 2020, a preview of the work that needs to be done for fiscal year 2021, and the formation of six important University task forces and a Student Advisory Board that will help us shape the immediate and longer-term future for DU.
It is my great pleasure to share the news that Mary Clark will be joining the DU community as provost on July 15, 2020. Mary’s academic and administrative credentials are exemplary. She rose up as someone who can help strengthen and advance our academic programs with intelligence, imagination, foresight and camaraderie.
In a Town Hall conversation that drew nearly 750 viewers, University ofÌýDenver Chancellor Jeremy Haefner brought the DU community together virtually to share stories and reflect on the ways teaching, learning and social engagement have evolved over the past two months.
