On Friday, June 6, the following campus libraries will close for an employee in-service day: Business Library, Earth Sciences & Map Library, Engineering, Math & Physics Library (already closed for renovation), Music Library and Norlin Library. The purpose of the in-service day is to provide professional development for University Libraries’ faculty and staff and enhance the quality of our services and resources. 

During the closure, library facilities including access to physical collections, study spaces and research services will be temporarily unavailable. Any scheduled classes or tours will not be able to visit the libraries on this day. Library users are encouraged to pick up needed materials in advance of the closure and find alternative areas to study on campus.

Regular summer hours of operation will resume on Saturday, June 8. If you have any questions or concerns about this closure, please contact libraries@colorado.edu.

ENGL1250-581
CE Summer Session 1
June 2–July 3
Asynchronous Online

Enroll now!

In ENGL1250–581: Introduction to World Literature by Women: Gender and Climate Change, we will ask the question “Why is climate change a women’s and gender issue?” We will read texts and watch films and lectures by and about women from the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Nigeria, Kenya, the Marshall Islands, Greenland, Sweden, Norway, India, Oman, Cameroon and Australia. Many of these works fall within the genre of climate fiction, or “cli-fi,” and we will discuss how these works illustrate connections between women, gender and climate change, as well as how race, sexuality, marriage, parenthood and caregiving, definitions of family, and questions of power and nation intersect with how people live in a climate-changed world. 

School’s out for summer but Student Legal Services isn’t taking a break from helping you resolve legal issues. SLS has highly-qualified and experienced lawyers who know how to support students through legal situations at a fraction of the cost of a private attorney.

Services are available to all CU Boulder students who pay student activity fees. If you find yourself in a tough situation over the summer, contact SLS at 303-492-6813 or visit their office at UMC 311 to schedule an appointment.

Registration for continuing undergraduates closes on Thursday, May 22. It then reopens on July 23 for schedule adjustments. Continuing undergraduate students will not be able to add or edit classes during the two-month blackout period, which is standard. Faculty and staff: Get more details.
