45-minute Interview Session

Share your story with C3 Innovation! We are recording the story of teaching professors, researchers, business leaders, and students with our YouTube series and UCCS Radio Program, Innovation Springs. The goal is to highlight what amazing things are happening in the classroom, around campus, and across the community.

Sign up to tell us about your experiences, projects, courses, creative works, research, or passions. We are looking for stories from the whole community: IRC, tenure/tenure-track, lecturers, program leaders, staff, and students. 

Interviews take less than an hour, and you will receive questions beforehand. We ask about your typical day, what innovation means to you, and what projects you’ve been working on lately. Recording takes place on campus unless other arrangements are requested. Interviews are edited and aired on YouTube and UCCS Radio.
