CU recognizes our responsibility as stewards of a public-serving institution and our work together to create a university that others strive to emulate. Anchored in a culture of equity, belonging, empathy, and support, this summit will generate positive momentum and build an environment dedicated to growth and excellence in everything we do. 

Faculty, staff and students are invited to submit proposals to share their wisdom across the university. Your expertise, lived and academic, are needed for this to be successful. 

Program details and registration will be shared in August 2026.

Transformation is possible, but action is not optional.
