C+V Community Leadership Conversation with Chancellor Haefner & Provost Clark: A Community Driven by Purpose
At times, it can be hard to take stock and remember our ‘why.’ ‘Why do we do what we do?’ ‘What drives us to get up in the morning?’ ‘What do we love most about DU?’
In C+V’s upcoming Community Leadership Conversation, Associate Vice Chancellor of Government Relations and Community Affairs, Stephanie Y. O’Malley, will moderate a conversation with Chancellor Jeremy Haefner and Provost Mary Clark. They will talk about their ‘whys’ and how connecting to our collective purpose can help us keep moving forward toward our goals and pursue our mission as a community.
Through authentic conversation, DU’s leaders will dig into what they are excited about, why they love being part of the DU community, how we can communicate with one another, and ways we can celebrate the people that make all DU does possible.

James C. Kennedy Mountain Campus:
At the James C. Kennedy Mountain campus at the University of Denver, all students will immerse themselves in the holistic approach to education that sets DU apart: the 4D Experience. The four integrated dimensions—advancing intellectual growth, exploring character, promoting well-being and pursuing lives and careers of purpose—will guide every program and activity on the mountain, just as they do on our urban campus.
The Kennedy Mountain Campus is for the entire DU community, and all students—from those studying music to those exploring the sciences—will have an opportunity to engage with this space throughout their time at DU. Here, there is something for every learner to expand upon and apply to their studies on DU’s urban campus.

Cultivate an exceptionally diverse, inclusive, equitable, and welcoming community
Building Equity at DU:
Since the launch of the annual Diversity Summit twenty-one years ago, the University of Denver has worked to engage and critically question the ways in which we as a community (students, staff, faculty, alumni, leadership, and community partners) could more fully embody our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
DU’s DEI work will engage in five areas of impact, each with specific action items, aimed at securing leadership, taking action, and increasing accountability and consistency across the university. This action plan will serve as a new platform as we enter into the next stages of our vision for a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive DU.
