The 2023 4D Symposium held on May 18 from 9:30 am - 5:30 pm in the Community Commons is designed to bring together campus stakeholders - faculty, administrators, staff, and students - to learn more about the 4-Dimensional (4D) Experience and share progress and models around elevating this work. Throughout the day, the 4D team as well as a variety of faculty, staff, and student speakers will be presenting sessions on how they see 4D integrating with their experience at DU, as well as the ways they envision the future of 4D taking shape.

Assessment of Campus Safety Policies and Procedures
Dear DU Community,
The safety and security of the University of Denver community is a top priority. As we continuously strive to enhance our policies and programs, it is helpful to periodically conduct objective assessments of our initiatives to help us to understand how we may further address the safety of our community. As the Chancellor stated in his recent communication, we have retained Margolis Healy, a nationally recognizedÔÇ»school safety and security consulting firm to lead a comprehensive assessment.
Through this assessment, we hope to further identify ways of enhancing school safety and improve upon existing University of Denver strategy and practices. Margolis Healy will be conducting onsite work from May 2 – 4, 2023. During this time, they will meet with individuals from across the University of Denver in support of the assessment.
We greatly appreciate your continued support and contributions in making our community safe for all and would like to invite you to the following open forum: Open Forum Session for Undergraduate and Graduate Students
– Tuesday, May 2nd, 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm in the Centennial Conference Room (201) in the Mary Reed Building.
Regards,
Michael Bunker University of Denver
