Help add new potential blood stem cell donors to the registry. Why? Because every three to four minutes, someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer or blood disorder, and it could be you or someone you love. Seventy percent of patients need an unrelated donor to treat their disease.
The cure is literally in you, and 90 percent of the time, donation is similar to giving platelets or plasma. Be on the look out for tables across campus––at the UMC, Rec Center, Engineering Center, C4C and Farrand Field––through March 22
Interested in being part of the Graduate and Professional Student Government (GPSG) next year? Applications for elected and appointed positions are open March 13–27.

Picking up your trash is even more important now that the Boulder City Council recently passed an ordinance that adds a civil violation to the city’s trash violation process.
Starting Saturday, March 18, the ordinance will make it easier for police officers to issue you a trash citation. Under the previous process, residents would receive a warning to clean up their trash by a certain deadline. If the violation was not fixed in time, an officer would have served the resident a criminal summons, which needs to be received in person and signed by the resident.
The new civil process still includes a warning to clean up by a certain deadline. However, instead of an officer needing to serve you a criminal summons in person, they can post the civil citation on your door or email it to your landlord. This change saves time for officers and makes it easier to deliver a citation.
The new process also established new fines:
Students can get free trash bags from Off-Campus Housing & Neighborhood Relations by stopping by their office in UMC 313.
As part of the continuous assessment of our emergency notification protocols and procedures, campus officials will test the CU Boulder alerts system at approximately 12:20 p.m. on Tuesday, March 21.
This test was originally scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 28. However, due to a high number of alerts sent to the CU Boulder community in the preceding week, the test was rescheduled.
The biannual testing, required by a federal law known as the Clery Act, involves checking the university’s systems for sending text messages, emails, social media posts, computer desktop alerts and website announcements. This testing helps ensure we’re staying up to date with best practices and maintaining readiness to respond in case of emergencies.
Get more information on the types of emergency notifications campus provides. Also, review what to know about how campus emergency notifications work.
