The University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) is one of Colorado’s flagship public institutions and among the most research-active public universities in the country. As a state institution, our mandate is to serve a diverse population of learners. The College of Engineering and Applied Science is the second largest school or college on the CU Boulder campus, is ranked as a top 10 public graduate engineering program and a top 20 undergraduate engineering program, with multiple specialty programs ranked in the top 20 as well. Equally importantly, we are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and academically excellent community. Our 250 tenure-track, 115 instructional-track, and 30 research-track faculty serve more than 6,000 undergraduate students, 1,300 master’s students, and 1,000 PhD students. Our college recently updated its strategic vision to include three core foci: (i) Research & Innovation, (ii) Education, and (iii) Inclusion. We assert that a diverse faculty is necessary for achieving these goals and our campus diversity plan. We believe that our college’s success requires faculty who actively work to create an inclusive culture within the college.
