I would like to update you on the work we have been doing in response to the harrowing issues raised by the wecanDUbetter students and alumni about how DU responds to gender-based violence and sexual assault.
With increased news coverage and mounting questions over COVID-19, which is known to most as Coronavirus, we want you to know that the University of Denver has been actively communicating with our students abroad and their families. As we implement our planning efforts, we deeply appreciate if you can help us limit the spread of misinformation.
Tenacity and a commitment to realizing our mission of serving the public good are defining characteristics of the University of Denver. We call, and have been called on, to do more, act faster, and dig deeper on many issues facing our community and society broadly.
As an institute of education, we have the responsibility to model our highest values for our students—a principle one being our commitment to welcoming, supporting, listening to and lifting up people from all backgrounds.
In many ways, building and participating in community today can feel like we are starting fresh due to forces like rapidly changing technology, globalization, increasing political division and cultural and demographic shifts.
