This study is about how typical artificial indoor lighting versus a simulation of a natural sunset influences the timing of the human body clock. The body clock controls 24-hour patterns of physiology such as sleep and hormone release. This work will have important implications for determining how implementation of new lighting technology can be used to promote sleep.

We are looking for healthy men and women, ages 18–45, to participate in a study lasting approximately 15 days consisting of wearing an activity tracking watch at home and two laboratory visits of about 7 hours each at the CU Boulder Sleep and Chronobiology Laboratory.

Compensation up to $200.

For study details, email sleep.study@colorado.edu and ask about the Simulated Sunset study.

Schwarzman Scholars is a program designed to prepare future leaders to serve a bridge between China and the rest of the world by helping them understand China’s culture, economy, governance and evolving role in the world. 

This highly selective, fully-funded program is an unrivaled opportunity to live in Beijing for a year of study and cultural immersion, attending lectures, traveling and developing first-hand exposure to China, its people and a global group of promising leaders. Scholars will study for a one-year master's degree in public policy, international studies, or economics and business at Tsinghua University, one of China’s most prestigious institutes of higher education. 

A Schwarzman representative will be on campus to talk about the scholarship and offer application advice. Interested students, as well as faculty and staff who want to know more about the program, are encouraged to come to the information session.

Hello! I am a woman with multiple sclerosis living in the Boulder community. I currently employ a group of female students from CU, and I am looking for energetic and strong female students for summer help and for the fall semester. 

I am looking for help for three different shifts a day—morning, afternoon and night. All shifts are available this summer. There is light exercise, meal prep, etc. If you are majoring in a pre-med field, this is an opportunity for credit for the year and is a great experience in patient care. I am looking immediately for training. 

Thank you, and looking forward to meeting some of you.
