CU Boulder currently offers 30 different sport clubs from which you may choose. Interested in joining a sport club this year? Attend an informational meeting this week to learn more.

We are recruiting participants for a research study who are fluent English speakers, are over the age of 18, and who are currently enrolled in CU Boulder’s CSCI 2270 course.

These studies take place at the Center for Innovation and Technology, Room 184G. In this type of study we investigate how students use problem-solving skills in debugging code. In the study you will be working with a collaborative robot on a program debugging task.

During the study we’ll be using cameras and microphones to record the interactions you have with the robot and the tasks at hand. We’ll also use eye tracking to measure your gaze patterns during the experiment. Collecting this video and audio data is mandatory for this study. If you do not want to be recorded with video and microphone, you may decide not to participate in this study at any time.  

This study will last 30 minutes, and the pay is $12.50. You cannot earn course credit through this study.

Schedule an appointment online. To get directions to our lab, or for more information, please email isat.lab@colorado.edu.

Upgrades to the chilled water services to multiple buildings on Main Campus will create various sidewalk impacts during the fall 2022 semester. These impacts will occur in and near the Norlin Quadrangle as service is upgraded to buildings such as Hellems Arts and Sciences and Guggenheim Geography.

These service upgrades will increase efficiency and resiliency and add new cooling to multiple buildings on campus. Facilities Management will strive to minimize impacts to building access during this time and will provide wayfinding signage for alternative routes. FM is grateful to the campus community for its flexibility and understanding during this exciting project.

Initial sidewalk impacts include:

• Norlin Quad sidewalk from Norlin Library west to University Theater
• Sidewalk on the north side of Hellems
• The courtyard between Lucile Berkeley Buchanan building and Hellems
• The sidewalk on the north side of the Museum Collections building between the museum and the Economics building

To see a map highlighting affected construction areas and alternative routes for each phase, as well as ongoing updates, visit the Cone Zone page.

  • Sept. 22, 2–3 p.m.: Demystifying the career development process
  • Nov. 17, 2–3 p.m.: Helping students navigate the unexpected exploration process
  • February 2023: What’s new in the world of work and how CU programs can help students prepare
  • April 2023: Topic TBD
• One or two e-newsletters per semester with information about career resources, events, internships/experiential learning opportunities and more to share with your students

On Sunday, Aug. 21, the Boulder campus will return to its regular operating hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Some departments maintain their own unique hours of operation. Please follow your department's schedule.

UROP welcomes undergraduates at any stage of their project timeline to participate in this year's Sidewalk Symposium by creating colorful visual presentations of their projects using nothing but chalk.

Partying this weekend? Pick up free Naloxone at Medical Services.

Naloxone can be picked up at Health Promotion (3rd floor) upon request, without a prescription.

The roar of the crowd that is a Folsom Field staple will receive a boost this season with the addition of a state-of-the-art sound system that will be tested for the first time Aug. 15–26.  

Students and faculty returning to campus for the fall semester, as well as community members in the proximity of the stadium, are likely to hear a variety of noises during that testing period, including music, that at times will be loud.  These tests are necessary to ensure the system is completely functional in time for the first football game of the season. Testing will begin at 8 a.m. and will generally be concluded by 5 p.m. daily.    

“These much-needed and long overdue sound system improvements will greatly enhance the visitor experience not just for football games but any event at Folsom Field,” said Jason DePaepe, CU Boulder deputy athletic director. “From an entertainment standpoint, as well as providing important PA messaging, this new sound system will make attending an event at Folsom Field even more exciting.”   

Fans will be able to hear the new fully functional sound system for themselves when the CU Buffs begin their 2022 football season at Folsom Field on Sept. 2 against TCU.
