We are seeking current CU undergraduates of all majors and backgrounds to participate in a research study investigating the Mindful Campus Program, an eight-week course designed to promote mindfulness, compassion and community engagement.
You can earn up to $220–225 by participating in this study.
Participants will attend eight 90-minute sessions (these will be held in person or remotely, depending on the group), complete surveys at three time points, and participate in focus groups to give feedback on the Mindful Campus Program. You must be 18 years old or older to participate. The IRB protocol number for this study is 21-0001.
By participating in this research, you will not only have the opportunity to learn and practice in a community setting, but also you may contribute to the creation of programs and policies to support undergraduate wellness and CU Boulder. Please reach out if you’re interested in learning about sections of the Mindful Campus course specifically for BIPOC and/or LGBTQ+ students.

Thomas Hübl, renowned teacher, author, and international facilitator, will lead a Global Social Witnessing call to recognize the impact of the Marshall Fire in Boulder County from noon to 1:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 7. Global Social Witnessing is a practice to support healing and peace-building by gently turning our attention toward rather than away from challenging events in the world. We shift from being a bystander, mentally processing the latest news, to an active witness, responding from our bodies and hearts, as well as our minds. This event is co-hosted by the CU Boulder Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence, Naropa University and the Pocket Project.
