In order to better focus its efforts and effectively collect and deploy resources, IRISE has engaged in two connected processes during the Winter and Spring Quarters. First, on February 9, 2018, IRISE hosted a moderated daylong retreat where campus experts and community partners came together to identify priorities and objectives in this work. Organizations and institutional partners such as Groundwork Denver, the Asian Pacific Development Center, SEIU Local 105, the Colorado Department of Higher Education, and the Denver’s Sherriff’s Department engaged with IRISE affiliated faculty, centers, and institutes from Korbel, SCOL, MCE, AHSS, GSSW, University Libraries, DCB, GSPP, NSM, and the Newman Center. Second, and coming out of the retreat, IRISE has partnered with Project X-ITE to host a design thinking workshop to cultivate next steps for addressing issues related to racial inequity in health and education across the state of Colorado. The workshop engaged faculty, department chairs, on-campus institutes and centers, and off-campus partners toward building out its next phase of impactful and collaborative scholarship, teaching, and leadership.
