University of Colorado
Boulder, CO
The
university museum can remain an indispensable component
of the university’s mission and assert its
role in the educational experience through interdisciplinary
collaboration with diverse academic disciplines.
This collaborative dialogue will broaden and deepen
the academic experience for university students,
unveil new meanings while respecting the integrity
of the disciplines involved, and reaffirm the traditional
expectations of the museum - investigation, inquiry,
and intellectual challenge – by the university
administration and faculty.
A
detailed schedule and registration will be mailed
in February 2008. Busses will be provided for the
1⁄2 hour ride from the Convention Center in
