SERVICEHIGHLIGHT
Dr.CeciliaOrphan
Since the fall of 2022, I have had the honor of serving as president of our College’s Faculty Executive Committee (FEC) I have approached this role with a commitment to strengthening shared governance and advocating for increased faculty voice in decision making in our College.
During my tenure as president, FEC hosted six research, teaching/mentoring, and service demonstrations exploring a range of topics including accessibility, the Teaching Evaluation Model, and the proposed service rubric to evaluate faculty service through AP/APT.
I can’t claim much credit for the planning or success of those demonstrations – FEC Vice Presidents deserve credit FEC also added an explicit focus on accessibility into our priorities Most significantly, FEC collaborated with various stakeholders to design an annual process that will solicit faculty feedback for college leaders including FEC, the Deans Team, and Department Chairs. This feedback process will officially launch next academic year and is in fulfillment of FEC’s bylaws I am hopeful that this feedback process will support College leaders across in enacting their roles and strengthening shared governance FEC also spent a great deal of time cleaning up and clarifying processes, including agenda setting, identifying faculty priorities for FEC, and hosting regular elections in alignment with our bylaws.
My two years as FEC president have coincided with challenging budgetary times at the University As president, I shared budget information with faculty members while also sharing faculty insights about the budget with the Dean’s Team FEC also partnered with Faculty Senators to address university budget challenges.
I have learned a lot about leadership and shared governance through this role I have learned about the importance of centering the humanity of faculty, deans, and staff colleagues as we promote shared governance I have learned that leading during politically charged times requires humility and openmindedness. I am grateful to my faculty colleagues who have given me feedback about my leadership that I have taken to heart. I have also learned that it is important to clearly state when I advocate for a policy or issue if I am doing so as FEC president, or as a faculty member at DU
I am proud of what FEC has accomplished and I look forward to the next phase of FEC leadership, which will carry on the work we have done these past two years and continue strengthening faculty involvement in shared governance.

STUDENT & ALUMNI ACHIEVEMENTS
AwardWinningC&IStudent
C&I student, Jameka Lewis, conducted a presentation at the Denver Press Club in 2021 about media bias against the Black Panther Party, specifcally focusing on media bias against the Denver Chapter of the organization. Linda Shapley, who heads Colorado Community Media (the organization that oversees the Golden Transcript) was in attendance and Jameka and Linda chatted afterwards about how many articles the Transcript published about the Black Panthers - all of which were negative.
A few months later, they submitted a grant proposal to Colorado Community Media, a nonbiased organization that funds various mediarelated projects, to further examine media bias against the Black Panthers. Their project was funded $10,000 They spent the year researching, conducting interviews and talking about how this biased reporting affected how members of the Golden community viewed not just the Black Panthers, but Black people in general.
The project was published in February 2023 and was recently awarded a Regional Journalism Award An incredible accomplishment!

EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP & POLICY STUDIES
ELPS engaged in two huge initiatives this year The first was to revisit our mission, vision, and student learning outcomes Starla Pearson led us through monthly activities to get the entire department to coalesce around a shared sense of purpose The goal was to ensure that all ELPS students had a similar experience about how we showed up across our programs. We finally settled on a revised mission, vision, and student learning outcomes that feel right.
Our second initiative was led by Lolita Tabron This year, we dedicated our doctoral work to a curriculum mapping activity We did this to better understand the doctoral student experience Faculty members presented their courses at each monthly meeting and got feedback from the team. We collectively mapped what we heard on a shared document for future curriculum refinement that matches our new student learning outcomes.
“The Power of Effective School Boards: Lead Today for a Brighter Tomorrow," was a huge success, being led by Starla Pearson and Lolita Tabron Over 29 districts represented (16 small rural/rural and 13 urban districts). In addition to school board directors from across Colorado, we were honored to host members from CASB and the Colorado State Board This initiative featured four ELPS doctoral students who provided literature briefs for the symposium distributed to Colorado School Board Directors (Analisa MartinezMorris, Brian Vedder, Rebeccah Winslow, & Kaitlyn Daniel).

RESEARCH METHODS AND INFORMATION SCIENCE
The RMIS department had a busy spring quarter The students from the Research Methods and Statistics (RMS) and the Library and Information Science (LIS) were involved in organizing the annual RMIS student research conference on April 26. For the first time, the conference featured student presentations and posters from all MCE programs. Dr. Bruce Uhrmacher delivered a keynote speech The RMIS department has 48 students graduating this spring, including 37 Master’s students in the LIS online and onsite programs, and 11 students in the RMS program
The RMS program has had an eventful few months, continuing to offer enriching lunch and learn sessions that supplement students' classroom experiences with practical career and academic insights. Recent topics included academic writing tips and tricks, student-led research studies, navigating university systems for theses and dissertations, and an introduction to professorial life These sessions remain a vital part of the program, helping students advance their skills and knowledge in meaningful ways In late May, the program hosted a special mixer, which doubled as a surprise retirement party for esteemed colleagues and mentors, DrsNick Cutforth and Bruce Uhrmacher. This event celebrated their significant contributions since the early 1990s and provided a memorable gathering for students and faculty alike. Additionally, the program is proud to announce the graduation of one master's and ten doctoral methodology students, marking a significant milestone in their academic and professional journeys
The Library and Information Science (LIS) program hosted several professional development and social events organized by the student organizations. The Library & Information Science Student & Alumni Association (LISSAA) organized a Virtual Lunch & Learn session on “Building a Gender Inclusive Library” on May 10, 2024, and a Town Hall on May 13. During the final week of classes, LISSAA organized some social events with snacks “Final Weeks Fuel to support students working on their final papers, and projects The Student Chapter of the Society of American Archivists (SAA) engaged strategically with the admitted/incoming student cohort for 2024-2025, inviting them to chapter events to spark early interest and recruitment for officer positions. The chapter hosted a second-year student panel with students from all LIS interest levels. In May, the chapter organized a tour of the University of Denver’s off-site library storage facility, the Hampden Center.
TEACHING AND LEARNING SCIENCES
The faculty in the department of Teaching and Learning Sciences (TLS) continue their robust engagement with research and scholarship through publications, keynote addresses, and grants. As a department, TLS is engaged in a number of key initiatives to advance the learning outcomes of students. In Curriculum and Instruction (C&I), we are moving forward with our plans to transfer all courses from 3 to 4 credits This will foster greater program coherency by reducing content overlap and allowing for a deeper exploration of course content The research sequence for EdD and PhD students is being reorganized to better individualize the needs of students and to better fit the research and writing needs of students. In School Psychology (SP), the rural School Psychology degree is launching with its first cohort of 17 students spread all across the state of Colorado. School psychologists are in extremely short supply in rural communities and this program will enhance the access to mental health resources for students SP is also streaming the process for acquiring a doctoral degree by eliminating the MA requirement In the Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) degree, we are starting a revision of the degree to better serve students and increase alignment with state and national accreditation. The Teacher Education Program (TEP) is revising courses to move from 3 to 4 credits and launching several alternative pathways programs designed to better serve the needs of individuals working in schools who are not yet licensed
FISHER EARLY LEARNING CENTER
As a year-round program, there is no pause between wrapping up one school year and preparing for the next. While we carefully and eagerly get ready for the upcoming school year, Fisher teachers and children still find time to have fun!
On Saturday, June 1, 2024, we held our annual Spring Fling community-building & fund-raising event at Fisher. Spring Fling brings together the Fisher community, including new families joining next school year, for a day of fun and connection One of the highlights was a storytelling event led by storytellers from diverse cultures and backgrounds, aligning with our mission and vision of DEIJ-A. This year’s event was one of our most successful, with a great turnout and perfect weather
TEACHING AND LEARNING SCIENCES
As our Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) statement describes, we are committed to fostering a community that embraces children and adults of all abilities and identities. Our mission to promote JEDI is closely tied to NAEYC's Anti-Bias Education (ABE) framework: Identity, Diversity, Justice, and Activism Throughout this journey, our educators ensure developmentally appropriate practices (DAP) to foster an intentional learning environment They affirm their students' feelings and thoughts, empower them as individuals, and help them build the confidence and social-emotional foundation essential for each child to achieve their full potential.

Looking ahead, we were thrilled to celebrate our PreK graduates on June 13th This significant milestone not only marks an achievement for our young learners but also reflects the collective effort of our Fisher families and teachers, whose dedication and excellence keep the program running smoothly throughout the year. We loved recognizing the children's accomplishments and growth!
Immediately after the PreK graduation ceremony, our teachers and administrators immersed themselves in Professional Development Week (June 14-21) They engaged in enriching sessions on topics such as implicit bias/JEDI with Cassandra Johnson, the Program for Infant and Toddler Care (PITC), which we are proud to implement in the coming school year, and NAEYC assessment tools. Our teaching team will also spend significant time preparing and setting up classrooms to create a welcoming environment for our new children
Additionally, each classroom will host New Family Meetings during the PD Week Teachers are eager to connect, share important information, and, most importantly, welcome new children and their families into our school community.
There is never a dull moment at FisherELC We are incredibly proud of the excellence of our educators and administrators, which shines especially during this busy time of the year
RICKS CENTER FOR GIFTED CHILDREN
This is how we roll! As the weather warmed, the Ricks community came together for “bike bus” meet ups at Wash Park and Observatory Park during the spring. Cyclists enjoyed the cool morning air as they navigated the bike lanes to Ricks.
Preschool took off to DIA for an adventure! After navigating security, they rode the shuttle, escalators, and moving walkways to the United gates where they were welcomed onto a Boeing 777 between flights. They enjoyed lunch on the airplane before taking turns visiting the cockpit and acting as First Officer alongside the Captain
Shine like a star! Ricks students rocked the house at the annual talent show Dancing, singing, improv, monologues, hockey tricks, and more Eighth graders finished the show with a special rendition of the Macarena, and the audience danced along Our students are full of surprises!
Eighth grader Lauren B shared her passion for birds and bird watching during her Passion Pursuit Presentation in May. Tracing the origins of her long-standing interest, she enlightened the middle school audience with amazing pictures of some of her favorite feathered friends. Mr. Jason Bardales, President of the Shannon B. Jones Passion Pursuit Foundation (SBJPPF), presented Lauren’s special award and honored Sophie A with a grant to pursue her passion for figure drawing next year
Why is chocolate so good? At the Passion Project Fair, the halls were abuzz with any number of creative/curious passions that ran the gamut from chocolate to poisonous plants to Taylor Swift to eyeballs to Japanese cuisine to origami and beyond. To prepare, these diligent first through fourth graders started with an essential
question and then researched, gathered, analyzed data, wrote informational paragraphs, and created visuals for the final presentations
Dr. Ana worked with a small group of middle schoolers to develop a celebration week of student diversity. These amazing students prepared presentations on a variety of topics that were personally relevant to them including ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, and LGBTQ+ During morning “chats,” they shared these presentations with the rest of the middle school students opening the door for understanding and compassion.
