Researchers from the Neurophysiology of Movement Laboratory at CU Boulder are conducting a study to investigate the influence of light electrical stimulation (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) on walking performance in older adults. Individuals who are aged between 65 and 85, with no recent lower-body injuries, free from neurological impairments and able to walk unaided for six minutes may be eligible to participate in our study. 

The study involves two evaluation visits to CU Boulder Main Campus. The two sessions (each ~1.5 hours each) will be separated by three to seven days. Walking will be tested while transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is applied over leg muscles and controlled by a foot switch. 

Participants will earn $60 for completing the two sessions. If interested, please contact Rehab Aljaafari to learn more about the study: phone 720-687-7148 or email real5810@colorado.edu.

CU Boulder's Facilities Management team has launched a new website about snow removal, including a livestream of their snow table so anyone can look at the current snow depth on campus. This table has been around for nine years but it is only recently available to the public. 

The website also includes a snow removal map that indicates whose responsibility it is to plow and shovel in areas across campus.

With spring break approaching, the CU Boulder campus will follow different building access protocols. 

March 24–27: Most buildings will be available via Buff OneCard swipe between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. 
March 28 is a university holiday: Building access will only be available for affiliates with Buff OneCards who have been provisioned for 24/7 access to their respective facilities. 

Visit the Campus Building Access page for more information.

The search for CU Boulder’s next provost, officially launched in January, is on track. The deadline for nominations and applications has closed, and the provost search advisory committee is now in its quiet phase as it reviews applications, conducts first-round interviews and makes finalist recommendations to Chancellor Justin Schwartz.

Finalists will visit campus in late spring, and the chancellor plans to have a new provost in position by July 1, 2025.

The Learning Assistant (LA) Program is hosting an information session and celebration on Tuesday, April 1, in the CASE Chancellor's Hall.

Graduate students who plan to have their degrees awarded in August but would like to be listed in the commencement program must apply online to graduate through Buff Portal on the “apply for graduation” card. PhD students must also enter their dissertation title as part of the graduation application. Though you plan to participate in a May ceremony, please select August 2025 as the semester of graduation if that is when your degree will be awarded.

During campus portal maintenance, which is next scheduled for Sunday, March 16, you can still access Canvas and some other campus services through direct links (e.g., canvas.colorado.edu).
