It’s the most wonderful time of the year, soon to be followed by a less wonderful time of year—tax season.
You can take key steps now to make tax season go more smoothly. Namely, make sure your personal information and pay are accurate to ensure your W-2 and/or 1042-S forms are correct and will be mailed to your correct address on time.
Graduate students, mark your calendars for approaching graduation deadlines for fall 2023.

CU’s Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence (CSPV) is seeking 10-15 community members who have been impacted by a mass shooting to participate in a community film project. The project is part of a public awareness campaign to prevent violence in Colorado.
We think survivors provide a critical perspective on this topic. For instance, what do you want the public to understand about your experience? What do you wish could have been done differently to prevent the attack? CSPV hopes to share these stories as part of a larger public awareness campaign on the prevention of mass violence, to be disseminated via social media channels and CSPV’s website.
Each participant’s videotaped interview and/or photoshoot will take approximately 30-60 minutes, and the filming/photography sessions will take place on Monday, Dec. 4, or Tuesday, Dec. 5, at CU Boulder. Participants can select the day and time that is convenient to them; each participant will receive a gift card as a thank you for their time.
If you or someone you know has a story that they would like to share, please email avery.moje@colorado.edu for more information and to complete a brief questionnaire. Applications will be reviewed beginning Monday, Nov. 20, and accepted until Monday, Nov. 27.
