Signature Work at DU

To realize DU’s public good vision, DU students have opportunities for connected, high-impact educational experiences that prepare them to make connections among ideas and experiences in order to apply information and skills to public discovery.  

On the path to public good discovery, some students carry out signature work. Signature work is a high impact practice through which students: 

• 

  Transfer their learning from classes to projects that address complex problems of importance to the student and the public good

• 

  Have agency and play a key role in defining and carrying out projects in which they immerse themselves

• 

  Receive individualized mentoring

At DU, signature work is often collaborative. For example, community-engaged signature work emphasizes equitable collaboration with community partners to address public problems.
