Past Event: Community Talks
About
On Tuesday, Jan. 14, more than 150 members of the DU community gathered in Maglione Hall for the first Community + Values event of 2020.The first in a series of “Community Talks” addressed creative ideas for building community through the voices of four of our community members: an alumnus, faculty member, undergraduate student and coach.
These highly individual and captivating talks explored the question of how to create community on a new planet where none exists. We heard how concepts of planting seeds of kindness, empathy and compassion, unity with trust, and embracing differences during adversity all play a crucial role in establishing healthy and thriving communities.

Past Event: Community + Values Ice Cream Truck
About
Partnering with 1Day4DU and May Days, Community + Values brought ice cream trucks to campus and asked faculty, staff, students and alumni questions that centered around belonging. Questions we asked included “how has DU changed you? and how have you changed DU?” and “Share a Meaningful DU experience.”
Through this process, we collected hundreds of sticky notes detailing peoples' thoughts and memories, and community members were able to read other members’ stories and gain a clearer, fuller picture of the DU community.
