The term “outreach” describes the ways in which the University of Colorado at Boulder extends its knowledge resources for the direct benefit of Colorado communities and other external audiences. Outreach is a form of scholarship that cuts across the university’s teaching, research, and service mission. Teaching, research, and service are simply different expressions of a scholar’s central concern: knowledge and its generation, transmission, application and preservation, all for the direct benefit of society. Universities have the responsibility of combining the highest quality research with the highest quality teaching for the purpose of human enlightenment and enablement.
CU-Boulder faculty members, and their students, provide a wide range of outreach programs that extend the scholarship of the faculty and educational resources of the university, as well as, serve various educational, social, economic, and cultural needs.
