CAW Center Overview

The Center of the American West, at the University of Colorado at Boulder, is one of the region's most creative and innovative organizations in identifying and addressing such crucial issues as multiculturalism, community building, fire policy, and land, water, and energy use. The Center brings together, for meaningful conversation and interaction, people as diverse as the American West itself. To understand the region, we believe that the exploration of the minds of its residents is as important as the inquiry into the workings of its cultures and ecosystems. Enterprising and inclusive in its embrace of a wide range of disciplines and strategies of communication, the Center strives to illuminate the challenges and opportunities facing this complicated geographic and cultural area. Ultimately, we want to help citizens of the West become agents of sustainability – citizens who recognize that their actions determine the region's future and who find satisfaction and purpose in that recognition.
