Engagement 3.0 is a new campus-wide framework designed to better coordinate, support, and amplify community engagement efforts. The first initiatives of Engagement 3.0 will be launching soon: a revamped CU Anschutz Shop Local site and our brand new CU Anschutz Volunteer Hub site. A self-guided campus community art tour has already launched.
