CAHSS Support Services
The CAHSS Support Services teams provide direct assistance, resources, and guidance in support of our students, faculty, and staff in the College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences. These teams deliver a broad range of services that sustain the College’s daily operations and advance its teaching, learning, research, scholarship, and creative work.
Working behind the scenes and alongside academic units, CAHSS Support Services ensure that CAHSS functions smoothly, safely, and strategically. From enrollment and recruitment support to business operations, facilities and infrastructure, and college-wide marketing and communications, CAHSS Support Services act as connectors across the DU ecosystem. By partnering closely with central offices, academic departments, and external vendors, these teams help navigate complex processes, steward resources responsibly, and maintain spaces, systems, and services that reflect CAHSS’s commitment to excellence, creativity, and care. Together, they form the operational backbone that supports the College’s mission and enables its people to focus on what matters most: understanding the human experience and shaping what comes next.
