Free Zero Waste Laundry Detergent Sheets:
USG Sustainability Committee

The University of Denver joins 21 Universities to partner with Generation Conscious and pilot a FREE zero waste hygiene equity program on campus! Starting February 3rd, students can input their student ID to access free refills of laundry detergent sheets from the Generation Conscious dispenser located in CCOM 3600 (Undergraduate Student Lounge). If 2 out of 3 students refill GenCo detergent sheets then we can achieve a 45% carbon reduction pathway to meet IPCC goals of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. Help encourage your students to support zero waste initiatives on campus and get free laundry detergent! 

Find them in CCOM 3600 (Undergraduate Student Lounge)

Next Steps in the Search For the New AVC of EOIX

The University of Denver has launched a nationwide search for a dynamic and strategic leader to serve as the next Associate Vice Chancellor of Equal Opportunity & Title IX (EOIX).

Prioritizing both compliance and education, the AVC for EOIX and Title IX Coordinator will collaborate and coordinate with colleagues across all levels and divisions of the University of Denver. The position reports to the Senior Vice Chancellor for Operations and Strategy Implementation.

The search is planned to be completed during the spring term. The search will be supported by a committee that represents many areas of campus. The members of the committee are:
•  Beth Robischon
•  Kristine McCaslin
•  Joshua Jason Kaufman
•  Rachael Williams
•  James J. Noone
•  Kristin L. Deal
•  Michele Hanna
•  Carlos Jimenez
•  Sarah Pessin
•  Tamara White
•  Korynne Terrio

The committee will be assisted by Storbeck Search and will focus on our commitment to DEI, non-discrimination, and pluralism on campus.

Followup Re: Fizz Survey

We are writing to share the results from the Fizz Survey that we sent to you in an email communication on January 8, 2025. As a reminder, the survey had three parts: (1) learning across difference; (2) on campus experience; and (3) a primary focus of questions on the Fizz virtual environment based on multiple reports that DU students were being targeted on that platform. We shared in the January 8th communication, and it is essential to reiterate that there is no tolerance at the University for bullying, discrimination and/or harassment whether occurring in person or through written or electronic means. Students found responsible for these behaviors could be subject to outcomes that may include suspension or expulsion.
