Faculty and staff can stop by Wardenburg Health Center for a free flu shot during the Health & Wellness Summit. Flu shots will be available Oct. 11–14 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Dates and times are subject to change, so please check the summit webpage for the most up-to-date details.
Medical Services provides free flu shots for CU Boulder students and graduate students in a variety of locations on campus during the flu season.
An annual seasonal flu vaccine is the best way to help protect against flu. Flu vaccination can reduce flu illnesses, doctors’ visits, and missed work and school due to flu, as well as prevent flu-related hospitalizations.

Instructors have received ongoing email communications requesting book and course materials information for spring 2023 courses. As a reminder, campus policy states that departments are required to identify what books and other course materials are required (or if a course will have no required materials) for their classes by the day of registration.
Course material information is critical to provide financial transparency to our students during course registration and to help them plan ahead. It is also needed in order for the university to maintain Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEA) and Americans with Disability Act (ADA) compliance (Disability Services needs sufficient lead time to gain access to and prepare books and materials in suitable alternative formats for students who need them).
Instructors who are not requiring specific books or course materials for a course (and departments with unassigned courses that won’t have required materials) or courses that will utilize Open Education Resources (OER), still need to notify the CU Book Store of that fact as soon as possible.
The book store has designated a staff member to facilitate any faculty needs around this:

Thank you for your prompt attention to this faculty responsibility.
How can you reuse material from your dissertation for publications, or vice versa? Do you need to register copyright for your dissertation/thesis? Should you share your dissertation/thesis publicly, and how do you go about sharing it? What do you need to be concerned about when using material from other publications in your dissertation/thesis?
If you’ve asked yourself any of these questions, join the Center for Research Data & Digital Scholarship for a workshop exploring copyright law, fair use principles and publisher policies to help you make important decisions about your own dissertation or thesis.
The Zoom workshop will be held from 10:30 a.m. to noon Wednesday, Oct. 5. Space is limited, so register now.
Planning to graduate this fall? Graduate students must apply online to graduate through Buff Portal on the “apply for graduation” card in order to have the degree awarded in December. Read more and plan ahead for upcoming graduation deadlines.
The Construction Research Safety Alliance (CSRA)––based in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering––partners with industry professionals to understand construction safety needs, conduct scientific research, and share the results broadly as an open-source entity, in an effort to eliminate serious incidents and fatalities in the construction industry.
The annual CSRA Safety Summit is designed for all construction safety professionals in multiple sectors across the globe, including buildings, electric power generation and delivery, oil and gas, marine-dredging, and infrastructure. The event is designed to feature the latest information and research completed by the CSRA through workshops and exhibitions. With more than 300 guests, this will be an amazing opportunity to connect with peers, advocates and leaders in the field.
In-person attendance is by invitation only, but due to high demand, there will be a livestream option. All are welcome to register, and there is no cost to attend the virtual event. Register here.
To learn more about the CSRA, please visit our website, or contact Associate Director of Strategic Development Katie Welfare at dewlanek@colorado.edu.

If you’re on the hunt for an internship or job this year, I wanted to share a free resource I’ve been using that will match you with opportunities at companies such as eBay, Anheuser Busch and Amazon, that you won’t get ghosted by!
This resource is called RippleMatch. It’s just for college students and completely different from job boards like WayUp and Handshake. On RippleMatch, you have a feed of opportunities curated just for you, kind of like TikTok. You don’t have to scroll through thousands of opportunities like you do with job boards; instead, they come to you. I love it because it takes under five minutes to apply to each company and get your profile in front of a recruiter. Plus you’ll always hear back rather than getting ghosted by job boards.
If you're interested, you can sign up here. It’s a quick sign up process, and if you receive a match upon signing up, it’s best to apply right away because you have a higher chance of landing an interview.
