This interactive forum will create a place for UNC faculty, students, and staff together with representatives of Greeley/Weld County community organizations to present and comment on collaborative projects between UNC and the Greeley/Weld County community, exchange ideas about partnerships, and envision the future. The event will include poster presentations, information tables, and a World Café for all participants to engage in dialogue. The forum also will be recorded for broadcast on UNC’s channel 98 and other media outlets.

entertaining approach to building capacity.

About the Program
The Robert O. Schulze Chair in Interdisciplinary Studies Fund was established in 1995 through the support of UNC’s Life of the Mind Program, donations from private parties (including many members of the faculty) and challenge grants from the Watson Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities. The purpose of the fund is to honor Dean Schulze by fostering a university wide interest in interdisciplinary studies. The fund enables the University of Northern Colorado to bring distinguished persons with broad interest in interdisciplinary studies to campus for a visiting year. The Schulze Chair may have expertise in any of the academic or professional disciplines and must hold great promise to enliven the intellectual life of the campus. The fund is also used for other activities that enhance interdisciplinary education at UNC including special lectures and faculty workshops providing cross-disciplinary activities that benefit students, faculty, and the community at large.
