As part of the University of Denver's commitment to support the public good, for over a decade the University's Strategic Issues Program convened panels of accomplished Coloradans to examine important public policy issues facing our state and the nation. The University of Denver and the State of Colorado are indebted to panel members who typically devoted six to nine months to the panels on which they served. Their talent, commitment and thoughtful contributions made the DU Strategic Issues Program possible.
