Connect with employers from a variety of companies who will be recruiting for all levels of computer science, software development and engineering. Learn about the broad spectrum of work opportunities available.

The UMC Board knows that CU’s student leaders make a difference. We encourage you to apply for the James E. Schafer Scholarship for student leaders. Each award is for $1,000.

If you have been involved in a CUSG-recognized student group or organization for at least one full semester and meet the other criteria, we encourage you to apply!

The deadline is Sunday, Feb. 25, at 11:59 p.m. MST. Applications are available online.

Discord…Hinge…Omegle? In a time when we’re forced to isolate, technology can provide us with opportunities to connect and form relationships. But which apps are worth the download? 

Stop by the Student Tech Share on Thursday, Feb. 17, between 2 and 3 p.m. in CASE E352 to chat with other CU students about which connection platforms you love—or hate (snacks provided either way).

This will be the first share of a three-part series meant to help us all get technology to work for us, not against us.

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. 

Please send an email to mindfulcampus@colorado.edu if you’re interested in learning more, or sign up to participate.

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. 

Career Services now has a photo booth named Iris that’s available to undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty and staff in need of a high-quality professional photo for a LinkedIn or other professional networking platform. Iris is located in the lobby of Career Services, S440 in the C4C, and is available during business hours, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

Iris can be controlled from your smartphone by scanning a QR code. It will take three shots while offering advice on how to pose for an effective professional portrait. You can do some limited retouching on the Iris screen with the photo booth’s software or more retouching on your own device with any photo manipulation program after you receive the files via email.

Find out how to give a trusted individual access to your billing, education or health records.

Undergraduate students are invited to join CU Student Ambassadors this spring to give tours and participate in admissions events! Applications due Feb. 13.

Adolescence is a significant period for brain development, during which certain individuals may be at a higher risk for experiencing stress and mood problems. The goal of the RRAY study is to learn about how certain cognitive abilities might make individuals more vulnerable or resilient in the face of stressful life events.

We are recruiting all teens age 13–19 for this two-year study. The study involves two study visits a year apart at our laboratory in Boulder, each lasting about six hours. During these visits you will be interviewed about your life experiences; you will complete some computer games that involve paying attention and learning; you will have a neuroimaging scan while you either rest quietly or play computer games; and you will answer a set of surveys on a computer. 

Also as part of the study, you will complete a set of online surveys and a brief telephone interview once every three months (five times total during the two-year study participation).  At the end of the study, you will have a final telephone interview, lasting about two hours.

You can earn up to $1,335 for completing all parts of the study, and get to take home a picture of your brain!
