At CU Denver and across the CU system, university leadership is actively working with elected officials, legal teams, peer institutions and national associations to ensure we continue to fulfill our mission. CU Denver is closely monitoring rapidly changing developments and engaging in the ways considered most effective for advancing our mission and supporting our students, faculty, staff and the communities we serve.
