Four puzzle pieces creating a circle with the words Mission, Vision, Values, Goals represented by pieces.

Our library users are at the heart of every decision we make. We strive to be a trusted partner for our CU students, staff, faculty and affiliates. With that in mind, we have updated our Mission statement: We link people with health sciences resources to advance learning, care, research and community. 

We have also revised our Vision, Values and Goals. To see our revised statements, please visit https://library.cuanschutz.edu/about/strauss-library/mission

Archival display of Dr. Comstock photo and items from during and after WWII.

On December 7th, 1941, the Empire of Japan attacked the United States at Pearl Harbor, beginning the US involvement in World War II, which had been raging in Europe and Asia since the late 1930s. The Japanese also invaded the Philippines in December, 1941. Although US forces continued to fight until May of 1942, 72,000 American and Filipino soldiers were captured on April 9th. One of the American soldiers captured was Dr. Jack Comstock, a 1938 graduate of the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
