About Us & Our C+V Declaration

Daniels College of Business; Research Aide, Pardee Center and DEI President

I wanted to help make a difference as well as to impact student life.

Deputy Equal Opportunity Coordinator/Senior Investigator, EOIX

I joined to support the mission of creating a more inclusive environment for students and staff. As a Black woman, I joined to further inclusion of students, faculty, and staff from underrepresented groups.

Meghan Dimsa, Executive Director of Strategy and Communication, SAIE

Being in higher education for over 20 years at both public and private institutions, I believe in the power of community and the importance of fostering a campus environment that reflects our shared values. As part of this committee, I look forward to learning from so many talented faculty, students, and staff to continue DU's collective mission, vision, and values.

Associate Vice Chancellor of Communications & Issues Management; Co-interim Vice Chancellor, MarComms

Connection - with one another, with our mission/vision/values, and with those we serve - is critical to the survival of our community and its ability to thrive. I am excited to be a part of helping build connection.

Associate Director, Fraternity and Sorority Life, Office of Student Engagement, SAIE

Community and values is a cornerstone of our Fraternity and Sorority Life Community so it is a natural fit for us to be part of this important conversation. While we continue to improve our campus, I felt it to be essential that we support the work of this Committee.

Executive Director, 4D Experience

C+V aligns very closely with the 4D Experience - Belonging and community are pivotal to sustaining it. Holistic learning and development and the activation of a person's full, authentic self may only happen if they feel seen, valued, and included. I'm excited to collaborate to advance those goals to foster a culture in which everyone sees themselves.

Director of Residential Education, Housing & Residential Education

I have always believed that you should be able to bring your authentic self to work. This means creating and contributing to an environment where everyone has the opportunity to feel a sense of belonging. This has to be a collaborative element that expands into every facet of a university community. Being a part of this committee allows me to contribute to this goal by elevating voices in conversations and helping to facilitate initiatives that aim to bring our community together.

Assistant Director, Center for Sustainability; Adjunct Faculty, GSSW Project Manager, Institute for Human-Animal Connection

I joined because I am a big believer in the power of community, solidarity, and collective creativity & wisdom. Together, we can co-create systems and ways of being that are truly regenerative for our DU community, greater Denver community, and the rest of the planet.

Alumni Representative, DULAA (DU Latinx Alumni Affinity) Co-Chair, Alumni Council Member

I am a strong believer that creating an inclusive and welcoming community will increase alumni engagement, improve the college experience for BIPOC students as well as the recruitment and retention of BIPOC faculty and staff. I am passionate about community building and providing welcoming spaces, especially for the BIPOC communities, both on campus and within the Denver Latinx community.

Assistant Coach, University of Denver Gymnastics

I think C+V plays a huge role in fostering a strong culture on the DU campus and our community, and I find it to be a very valuable vehicle to bring to life the strategic vision of the University. I've had a tremendous experience at DU which motivates me to serve in this role. I'm honored to be part of the committee!

I have been working with the University for a number of years and truly value the connections that I've been able to make across campus. I am passionate about building connections in all areas of life and this is the perfect opportunity to help others engage with one another and build a sense of community on campus where I haven't always had during my time here.

I appreciate the sense of connection and belonging working with C+V provides. I think it's important to create a culture of collaboration and C+V offers those opportunities regularly for DU staff, faculty and students.

I joined the committee because I care deeply about creating a campus environment that meets the needs of many diverse populations and that centers inclusion and belonging and as an opportunity to connect with great campus partners at DU on shared goals and initiatives.
