Mission
Statement
Founded in 1997, the Center for Humanities and the Arts (CHA) serves as a focus for humanistic scholarship and artistic creation across the Boulder campus. Each year, CHA selects a theme around which to organize its central activities: a year-long faculty and graduate student seminar, a lecture series, and a spring colloquium. CHA also supports innovative research and creative work through monthly "Work-in-Progress" sessions, and events with other units on campus. In addition, CHA plays an important role in supporting graduate education: CHA grants approximately $500,000 in graduate fellowships each year, has sent graduate students to Cornell University's School of Criticism and Theory, has hosted Woodrow Wilson Postdoctoral Fellowships in the humanities, and ran an internship program for students seeking employment outside the academy, a program that won a 1999 Innovation Award from the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation. In spring 2003, CHA hosted its first Visiting Scholar/Artist. All of CHA's events are free and open to our various constituencies, and we also host special events for undergraduate students and for our friends in the community. Through all of its programs, CHA works to encourage interdepartmental and cross-campus dialogue, to raise the profile of the arts and humanities in Boulder, and to build support for scholarship and creative activity.
