Student achievement in every sport and endeavor

If you go looking for it, you can find a lot of knowledge, wisdom and insight between the covers of books and in the contents of scholarly journals.

Enter DU’s first cohort of Public Impact Fellows, a 20-scholar team tasked with catalyzing innovation, creativity and progress through the dissemination and circulation of their expertise and research findings. How? Via blogs, social media, op-eds, and radio and television appearances.

The two-year program was launched in 2018 as a partnership between the Office of Research and Graduate Education and the Division of Marketing & Communications, which trains the faculty members in everything from crafting messages for mass audiences to fielding questions from time-strapped reporters.
