Tickets still remain for the University of Colorado men’s basketball team’s exhibition game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Sunday, Oct. 30, in which all ticket proceeds will go toward survivors and first responders of last December’s devastating Marshall Fire in Boulder County.

With tipoff scheduled for 4 p.m., and gates opening at 3 p.m., the exhibition will be the first opportunity for fans to see the 2022–23 Buffaloes while also contributing to a great cause.

Tickets are $20 for chairback seating, $15 for bench seating and just $5 for students. Proceeds will go directly to the Boulder County Wildfire Fund. Tickets are available online or by visiting the ticket office located in the Champions Center. Survivors and first responders can claim complimentary tickets to the game by clicking here.

The exhibition is a collaboration between the CU Boulder Department of Athletics and the Community Foundation Boulder County, which has been working closely with government, business and nonprofit partners to address the immediate, short- and long-term needs of the community following the Marshall Fire.

Many survivors are still struggling to recover, and this exhibition game will put much-needed funds in the hands of those who need it, while providing survivors and first responders an exciting afternoon of college basketball.

The 2022–23 Buffaloes look to use this season to continue to build on their recent success, which includes four-straight 20-win seasons and a pair of Pac-12 Conference top-four finishes.

Labels aren’t a priority for the creative directors behind the College of Music’s popular Pendulum New Music series.

The live performance/forum for new works, which will officially change its name from Pendulum to CU Boulder SoundWorks in January 2023, doesn’t place the same emphasis on formal categorization that obsesses many music fans and scholars alike. According to Egemen Kesikli, Pendulum/SoundWorks’ newly appointed artistic director, the focus of the concert series is more about inclusion, exploration and innovation than it is about classification. 

During maintenance that affects the portals, such as the maintenance scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 23, remember you can directly access canvas.colorado.edu and some other services that are provided through the portals.

This November, make your voice heard by voting in the 2022 election. CU Boulder has posted a number of resources related to how to register, where to vote and what’s on the ballot this year. 

CU Boulder has a proud history of civically engaged students, faculty and staff. In 2020, 80.3% of CU Boulder students voted in the election, earning the university the platinum seal from the All In Campus Democracy Challenge––the best participation rate in the Pac-12 Conference.

This year, CU Boulder is going head-to-head against other universities in Colorado for the highest voter turnout. Let’s prove that in 2022, Buffs are all-in on democracy.  

Help CU Boulder win this challenge by casting your ballot by Nov. 8.

Have you had a spinal cord injury? If so, we need your help.

The Sensorimotor Recovery and Neuroplasticity Laboratory at CU Boulder and CU Anschutz is seeking persons with a spinal cord injury to participate in a research project to study how low-oxygen therapy may promote recovery of movement.

This study is looking to see how mild bouts of breathing low oxygen may improve leg strength and walking ability in persons with spinal cord injury. The purpose of this study is to gain better understanding of how this potential therapy may help people with spinal cord injury become more independent.

If the following two questions apply to you, we would like to hear from you.

• Are you 18–75 years old? 
• Did you sustain a spinal cord injury more than six months ago?

Data we collect will be used to determine if this therapy may increase voluntary movement in persons' spinal cord injury. 

The study takes up one to two hours per day, up to 10 days of experimental treatment and training, and up to two days for tests on the CU Boulder campus. Participants will be compensated $25 for each visit and in some cases for travel.

Thank you so very much for your consideration. Your participation in our research program is greatly appreciated. For more information, contact CU Boulder's Andrew Quesada Tan and/or CU Anschutz's Andrew C. Smith with the subject line "IH STUDY."

Undergraduate students are invited to share an essay, original artwork or multimedia reflection that responds to or celebrates the themes in Braiding Sweetgrass for a chance to win $500.

Submissions are due by Jan. 27, 2023.
