CU-Boulder becomes Campus of ONE

Last night the University of Colorado Student Union passed a proclamation declaring the campus to be a Campus of ONE. The unanimous decision reflects the University’s commitment to being a leader on social justice issues and standing up against extreme poverty and preventable diseases. What’s even more significant is that the committee is determined to be more than a quiet statement of faith, but to make it public with a signing event and active promotion of ONE on campus throughout the next school year.
The sponsor of the bill, Dan Omasta, described the bill as unique because in this election cycle we are constantly hearing about all the things we can’t agree on, it’s nice to talk about what we do share as common values. The passage of this proclamation makes the University of Colorado one of the largest school to become a Campus of ONE.
I’m very proud of my University and look forward to the work we have to do over the summer and next year.

CU-Boulder has a real opportunity to be a leader in raising awareness and educating about the fight against extreme poverty and preventable disease. This fall, civic engagement will be at an all-time high. Congratulations CU-Boulder and also congratulations to you Matthew, but I’d say your work is just beginning.
