The Construction Research Safety Alliance (CSRA)––based in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering––partners with industry professionals to understand construction safety needs, conduct scientific research, and share the results broadly as an open-source entity, in an effort to eliminate serious incidents and fatalities in the construction industry.
The annual CSRA Safety Summit is designed for all construction safety professionals in multiple sectors across the globe, including buildings, electric power generation and delivery, oil and gas, marine-dredging, and infrastructure. The event is designed to feature the latest information and research completed by the CSRA through workshops and exhibitions. With more than 300 guests, this will be an amazing opportunity to connect with peers, advocates and leaders in the field.
In-person attendance is by invitation only, but due to high demand, there will be a livestream option. All are welcome to register, and there is no cost to attend the virtual event. Register here.

If you’re on the hunt for an internship or job this year, I wanted to share a free resource I’ve been using that will match you with opportunities at companies such as eBay, Anheuser Busch and Amazon, that you won’t get ghosted by!
This resource is called RippleMatch. It’s just for college students and completely different from job boards like WayUp and Handshake. On RippleMatch, you have a feed of opportunities curated just for you, kind of like TikTok. You don’t have to scroll through thousands of opportunities like you do with job boards; instead, they come to you. I love it because it takes under five minutes to apply to each company and get your profile in front of a recruiter. Plus you’ll always hear back rather than getting ghosted by job boards.
If you're interested, you can sign up here. It’s a quick sign up process, and if you receive a match upon signing up, it’s best to apply right away because you have a higher chance of landing an interview.

The first three student organizations and first three fraternity/sorority chapters to sign up will receive 15 CU Dining meal cards.

As part of the ongoing improvements to chilled water services across multiple buildings on Main Campus, there will be additional sidewalk closures. See the updated closure map on our Cone Zone page for details about detours and information on the project.
Additionally, there will be night construction commencing next to Hellems Arts and Sciences Building and is projected to continue through the weekend from Sept. 16 to Sept. 18. During this time, work vehicles will operate through the area between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. Please be cautious as you navigate through Main Campus during these hours.
Heads up: Expect to receive a few important reminder emails over the coming week, Sept. 19–23.
Each fall, the campus sends communications to share important information and meet federal notification requirements. It's your right to know! Students will receive eMemos with annual reminders on topics concerning voting, alcohol and drugs, financial aid and the campus's safety and security report.
If you're located outside of Colorado and/or you won't be on campus while taking classes, it's important for us to know where you are so we can make sure you're getting equitable access to educational opportunities.
Visit the Office of the Registrar to learn more and update your contact information.
The city of Boulder has completed a one-year pilot program for shared Lime electric scooters (e-scooters) in East Boulder and invites community members to share their feedback through a brief questionnaire by Friday, Sept. 30.
Community input will help city staff evaluate the program and determine whether shared e-scooters contribute to the city’s mobility, equity, safety and climate goals. In addition to questionnaire responses, the city will analyze e-scooter usage data and feedback from the past year to inform decisions on the program’s future.

We are recruiting participants for a research study who are fluent English speakers, are over the age of 18, and who have taken at least an intro-level programming class (or equivalent experience) with C++.
We are investigating how programmers of varying experience levels approach debugging C++ code. Our eventual goal is to create a collaborative robot that can support newer programmers as they learn debugging strategies. In the study, you will be completing a debugging task alongside our partner robot.
The study will last 30 minutes, and the pay is $15. You cannot earn course credit through this study.
Schedule an appointment online. The studies take place at the CU Engineering Center, Room ECST 322. To get directions to our lab, or for more information, please email kayleigh.bishop@colorado.edu. Thanks!
CU NightRide is hiring driver/dispatchers to take calls, coordinate rides and drive within the city of Boulder. We’re looking for students who are confident and safe behind the wheel, friendly, courteous, non-judgmental, caring and skilled at multitasking.
Student Assistant I
CU NightRide is a student-operated program dedicated to meeting the safety needs of CU students, faculty and staff by providing nighttime transportation to support a safe academic and socially responsible environment, both on campus and in the community.
About half of first-year students take a course in the Hellems Arts and Sciences building, and by the time they graduate, about 85% of all undergraduates take at least one course there. On this campus, Hellems takes a leading role in academics, but lately it might seem withered in the spotlight.
As CU Boulder gears up for a major renovation of Hellems, officials are asking students, faculty and staff to share their ideas, photos and suggestions about how to make the new-and-improved Hellems an inclusive and welcoming space—a space focused on an invigorating student experience and a refreshed work and research environment for the arts and humanities.
