Academic Community Engagement

Scholarship and Learning are a Community Effort

At DU, the Division for Community Support and Engagement (CSE) is invested in supporting the University鈥檚 academic mission and coming alongside faculty at every stage of the faculty life cycle. Whether you are teaching faculty who has been at DU for 15 years or starting your first tenure-track appointment, we are here to help you enhance career success and support you on that journey.

We offer one-on-one meetings with DU faculty and academic leaders, provide faculty search support, assist faculty interest groups, provide spaces to share research, offer unit- based pedagogical workshops, consult on policy and process design and improvement, and much more!

The Academic Community Engagement (ACE) Team is offering several points of engagement and support for faculty, staff, and advanced graduate students to provide community as well as professional development opportunities.听

Stay tuned for dates!
