In fall of 2003, fall of 2005, and spring of 2008, the campuses provided updates on that progress, agreeing that they would continue to submit biannual reports. In 2009, the Faculty Council worked with the system and campus Offices of Academic Affairs to update the report template in order to respond to the changes that had occurred over the previous ten years and to continue to solicit relevant and useful information. The 2010 campus reports used that format, as do the attached 2012 reports, which summarize the data from the schools and colleges on each campus.

    CU Connections Issue: June 27, 2013 Published on CU Connections (https://connections.cu.edu) Five questions for David Thomas[1] [2] At the offices of CU Online at the University of Colorado Denver, the joke is that faculty members pay a visit to find out which button they need to push to make something happen but end up in a conversation about teaching. “It’s true that if you don’t know how to use a computer platform, it’s impossible to get what you want out of it,” says David Thomas, director of academic technology. “But we think that bringing you into a kitchen and showing you knives and stoves and blenders and never talking about cooking is odd. We think of ourselves as educators first and technologists second. We actually talk about what they want to get done before we talk about how to do it.” [3] Discounted early registration available for COLTT 2013 Registration is open for the 16th Colorado Learning and Teaching with Technology Conference (COLTT), Aug. 7 and 8 on the CU-Boulder campus. Discounted early registration rates are available through July 17: https://cucs.colorado.edu/confreg/coltt-2013[4]. Regent Stephen Ludwig is the conference's 2013 keynote speaker. He is currently serving his second term as the at-large (statewide) member of the University of Colorado Board of Regents, and has worked to improve the cooperation between colleges throughout Colorado. COLTT 2013 offers an impressive array of engaging and innovative presentations on teaching and learning with technology. Topics include: “The Classroom Movie Mogul: Practical Uses of Camtasia Software,” “Hybrid Courses: Google+ for Mobile, Socially Networked Learning Beyond the Classroom," "The Digital Dossier: Combining Effective Digital Pedagogy and Scholarship" and "Acrobat Hands-on: I Didn't Know Adobe Could That!"

    CU Connections Issue: October 8, 2020 Published on CU Connections (https://connections.cu.edu) STEM educator’s far-reaching impact recognized with Chase Faculty Community Service Award[1] [2] Timberley Roane, Ph.D., is the recipient of the 2020 Chase Faculty Community Service award, recognition that honors her unrelenting support of the Native American/American Indian community in the education of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). An associate professor, Roane[3] has been a faculty member in the Department of Integrative Biology at CU Denver’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences for 20 years. The Chase Faculty Community Service Award[4] is presented annually to a full-time CU faculty member who, in addition to his or her university responsibilities, has, pro bono, provided exceptional educational, humanitarian, civic or other service in the community. An advisory council submits a recommendation to CU President Mark Kennedy, who bestows the honor, which includes a $10,000 grant sponsored by an endowment from JPMorgan Chase through the CU Foundation. Roane was formally recognized during a reception held virtually on Sept. 25. Roane’s contributions and passion are far-reaching. She is a mentor for the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) and has served as an event coordinator and recruiter at local and national centers and conferences, including AISES, as well as the Eastern Shoshone Tribe College and Career Fair and the Denver Indian Center. As a mentor for AISES, Roane volunteers her time to multiple students by providing constructive feedback, giving fair and unbiased evaluations, and supporting her students so they can navigate the demanding rigors of discipline-focused conferences for the advancement of their careers in STEM.
