Anyone can refer a student to Student Support & Case Management (SSCM). SSCM can connect students with resources and help them work through challenging life situations that may be impacting their education, such as:
Visit the SSCM website to learn how to recognize and respond to a student in distress and how to refer them to a case manager.

With winter break upon us, don’t leave Boulder without contacting Student Legal Services (SLS) if you’re facing legal trouble. SLS offers $30–$35 consultations to eligible students facing legal situations. Our highly experienced attorneys will work to resolve or minimize the effects of your legal issue so you can focus on enjoying your time off.
Get in touch with SLS at 303-492-6813 or visit the office at UMC 311 to schedule an appointment.
A biological hallmark of aging is “cellular senescence,” which is associated with cardiovascular dysfunction. Compounds called “senolytics” that decrease the number or amount of senescent cells may be effective for improving age-related cardiovascular dysfunction and possibly brain health.
The Integrative Physiology of Aging Lab at CU Boulder is trying to determine whether intermittent oral supplementation with a natural compound with senolytic properties called fisetin (found in strawberries, onions and cucumbers and available as dietary supplement) will improve blood vessel function, reduce artery stiffness and improve cognitive function (a measure of brain health).
Benefits for volunteers include: cardiovascular health assessment, cognitive function tests blood tests and compensation for time.
For more information, please email fisetinstudy@colorado.edu, or call 303-735-6410.
UROP offers funding to support undergraduate projects in all fields of study and professional practice.
Eligibility: Students must be degree-seeking undergraduates at CU Boulder to apply for UROP funding and should not plan to graduate before the end of a proposed project's grant term.
All student grants must be supervised by an eligible mentor. Tenured/tenure-track, research faculty and contract instructors at CU Boulder and the Anschutz Medical Campus are eligible to mentor student grants and apply for faculty grants. Graduate students or postdocs may serve in a supervisory role on student grants, but the faculty mentor must provide some direct mentoring to the undergraduate.
Learn more and prepare a proposal. Applications due by Feb. 16. Contact urop@colorado.edu with questions.

The Integrative Physiology of Aging Lab at CU Boulder’s campus is seeking volunteers to participate in a clinical research study. We are looking for women and men, ages 40-plus, who are willing to participate in water immersion sessions approximately three times per week for 12 weeks, and have above normal blood pressure (a top number of 115 or higher; if you are unsure of your blood pressure, please still contact us for screening).
Benefits for volunteers include: cardiovascular health assessment, exercise stress test, body composition, blood chemistries and monetary compensation for time.
For more information, please email cvstudy.cuboulder@gmail.com or call 970-460-8970.
