Race and Intersectional Studies in Educational Equity Impact

As part of a land grant university, RISE strives to support our communities. Our work reaches nationwide, into Colorado’s PK-12 and postsecondary educational institutions, and throughout our own campus. 

We aim to transform the practices, policies, and leadership of our educational institutions by advancing intersectional racial justice and equity through multi-stakeholder collaboration.

RISE Impact in Colorado

We have many projects aimed locally to serve the people and communities around us. By identifying the precise needs of our state and building outreach, our community-engaged research projects address the harm of systemic racism on individuals and educational communities at a state level.
