Launched in the fall of 2023, CLAS MixTape offers a series of dynamic programs featuring CLAS faculty, staff, students, and alumni. Just as mixtapes consist of thoughtfully selected songs meant for a particular person, CLAS MixTape comprises carefully curated content intended to shed light on society’s most pressing problems.

The series features short, compelling presentations that examine how the liberal arts and sciences contribute to a robust democracy and help solve society’s grand challenges.

For more than 50 years, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at CU Denver has focused on helping find answers to the most inspiring and challenging questions of our modern world. With over 75 major and minor degree programs, we give students the chance to explore the issues that matter most to them in ways that transcend traditional academic boundaries. Our world-class faculty include students at all levels across their classrooms, research, and creative activities.

CLAS MixTape occurs the second Thursday of each month usually from 11 am – 12:15 pm.
