This past Tuesday, as I sat in the audience for the chancellor鈥檚 State of the Campus speech, I felt such a sense of excitement about the Be Boulder Pact announcement. First and foremost, it is spot-on regarding putting our students at the heart of every decision we make.
Senior Vice Chancellor and CFO Kelly Fox
Personally, I am thrilled by how it demonstrates what we can do when we are willing to step back and look at how the university works; what we can accomplish when we work across unit lines and are prepared to test out new ideas and new ways of doing business.
The ideas behind the Be Boulder Pact came from people willing to change the status quo at 抖阴旅行射 Boulder, to challenge the 鈥渨ay we鈥檝e always done it.鈥� In my column last month, I talked about the investments our campus leadership is making in organizational resiliency and responsiveness. I can already see the results of these investments鈥攆rom the willingness to reinvent how we handle course and program fees to the full funding of the .
As the next step in my commitment to foster these growing collaborations and creative collisions, at the beginning of November I am convening the first all-staff gathering of Enrollment Management, Finance and Business Strategy, Human Resources, Infrastructure and Safety, Office of Information Technology, and Strategic Relations and Communications.
I am looking forward to this opportunity to challenge and support all of these units as we reimagine how we do our work. We will discuss how we can stay centered on the core mission of our university听and bring results-oriented and inventive ideas to the table. I am committed to facilitating a culture shift from 鈥淚 have to solve this on my own鈥� to 鈥渨e鈥檙e in this together.鈥�
I will continue to support small wins and big changes听and actively lay down the foundation for the next century of success at 抖阴旅行射 Boulder. I encourage all of our campus community to do the same; engage in creating our future, whether by participating in visioning like or a campus challenge like the 鈥渟hort experiment鈥� innovation grants or more. Everyone鈥檚 ideas, creativity and input are needed and welcomed.
Thank you,
Kelly Fox
Senior Vice Chancellor and Chief Financial Officer
