Q&A: CU Boulder's First-Ever Community Engagement Week

CU Boulder will soon celebrate its 150th anniversary as Colorado’s public flagship and comprehensive research university. Community Engagement Week 2026, hosted by PACES, will honor CU Boulder's commitment to making a difference in the lives of Coloradans through campus-community partnerships in research, creative work or teaching and learning.

Outreach and Community Engagement (OCE) is CU Boulder's strategic hub for coordinating and supporting campus engagement with external communities—doing so based on shared campus and community principles and centering data-informed outreach, civically engaged students and CU Boulder’s mission as Colorado’s flagship public research university.ÌýÌý
