In recent campus communications, you have likely noticed an increased focus on our strategic imperatives to shape tomorrow鈥檚 leaders, be the top university for innovation, and positively impact humanity颅.

The growing buzz around the revitalized , the Academic Futures process and the 抖阴短视频 Boulder Guarantee are a few examples of programs that are directly moving us toward听those imperatives.

I鈥檓 excited to share with you another program that can be added to the list above鈥�RIO Faculty Fellows, which was launched this past fall when the Research & Innovation Office (RIO) solicited applications for its inaugural cohort. Most of all, I鈥檓 delighted to introduce you to our first cohort of fellows.

RIO Faculty Fellows seeks to identify and develop tenured and tenure-track assistant or associate professors who are poised to lead significant collaborative projects, develop vision and deliver novel and impactful scholarly work. The program was founded and will continue to be led by Faculty Director Alan Townsend and Program Director Kirsten Rowell.

Founded on lessons from the successful听, our program engages fellows as individuals and as a cohort on research and creative work leadership;听collaboration and听systems thinking; along with team building and academic management; scholarly communication and values; equity; ethics;听and personal and professional coaching.

Perhaps its greatest promise is identifying a network of campus leaders, already experts in their respective fields, and equipping them to break down discipline-based silos on campus while strengthening the university鈥檚 reputation nationally and globally through deeper and wider collaborations beyond campus. Complementing programs such as the program and the Faculty Leadership Institute, the RIO Faculty Fellows program is an investment in our faculty and in our university as a global leader in innovation and impact.

In addition to the cohort鈥檚 first intensive three-day retreat in January, the program framework includes several more focused retreats and a variety of informal networking activities throughout the year. I hope you鈥檒l keep this program in mind as you think about opportunities for your most outstanding colleagues in the coming year. Applications for the next cohort will be accepted in September 2018.

Please join me in congratulating our first cohort of RIO Faculty Fellows. I know we鈥檒l be hearing even more from them in the coming years!

Terri Fiez,
Vice Chancellor for Research & Innovation
