The 4D Design Series provides practical strategies and tools for faculty and staff to design rich teaching and learning environments that further elevate the Four Dimensions. While the focus is on supporting students' learning and growth, the series also provides faculty and staff with the opportunity to engage with their own 4D Experience and to connect with colleagues from across campus.

The 4D Innovations Cohort is a design incubator for staff and faculty from across DU. Through a structured and dynamic design thinking process, cohort members reimagine, design and integrate models and practices that further embed the 4D Experience across the co-curriculum.

4D Infusion Grants help faculty and staff implement projects that enhance growth and development in line with the 4D. Projects are evaluated based on integrative or collaborative design, potential impact and scalability. Grantees may receive up to $1,500 to go both to supporting project activities and to stipends to support time and effort around implementation. Grants are awarded annually.Ìý

Please note: the 4D Infusion Grants cycle has closed for AY24-25. Please look for information regarding the AY25-26 application cycle in summer 2025.

We have compiled a range of activities, exercises and templates that may help your students reflect on and articulate their experiences and pathways, connect with peers and explore issues related to well-being, character and purpose

We send out a monthly 4D newsletter that shares 4D news, opportunities, and events with the campus community. We invite you to explore our past issues as well as to subscribe to the 4D newsletter by emailing 4DExperience@du.edu.

We offer resources to support your work not only in identifying and mapping your course or programmatic learning outcomes to 4D but also in developing an assessment plan and embracing evidence-based storytelling for impact.

We share research and scholarly activities that relate to the four dimensions and highlight the work of our DU scholars and practitioners in advancing holistic learning and development in line with 4D.
