Tell us about the Hidden Gems
on your campus
The campuses of the University of Colorado are special places. The vibrancy and engagement of the people who populate them, along with the beauty and energy of the surroundings, make their appeal fairly obvious to the casual observer.
But we know there are less obvious aspects of our campuses that make them great places to work and educate. And no one knows them better than you, our readers. Because some of you have suggested it, we'd like to share your insight with other colleagues.
Hidden Gems will be an occasional feature in the Newsletter that offers hints and tips about special places and people on the campuses. Maybe you've come across an inspirational spot for an outdoor lunch break, or an intriguing exhibit you wouldn't have known about if you hadn't stumbled upon it. Maybe it's advice on the best time of day to find a parking spot, or the name of an unsung barista who makes getting a cup of coffee truly entertaining. It can be anything or anyone that you think makes your campus special.
Have any ideas to get us rolling? Please send to me at Jay.Dedrick@cu.edu.
REGENTS COVERAGE: Since its initial publication on July 14, the Faculty and Staff Newsletter posted updates from the Board of Regents' July meeting. If you missed them, you can read about the board's study of core curriculum by clicking here, and read about the board's opposition of three November ballot issues by clicking here.
PUBLICATION SCHEDULE: Aug. 4 is the last Wednesday of the summer when the Newsletter won't publish. We'll be back to our regular weekly schedule starting Aug. 11.
STAY IN TOUCH: We always welcome your letters to the editor on topics of interest to current and retired CU faculty and staff. Please send submissions to newsletter@cu.edu. And if you have a news item or story idea you'd like to share, please send it to Jay.Dedrick@cu.edu.
