The Brenda M. Romero CU Dissertation Award in Music and/or Sound Studies and Social Justice is a $1,000 award that is open to students enrolled at CU Boulder, CU Denver and the Anschutz Medical Campus. Eligible students may be from any discipline but they must be working on a dissertation whose topic is related to music (or sound studies) and social justice. As we look to a better future, this award is meant to help identify and circulate ideals of music and/or sound and social justice under a wide umbrella of perspectives.
This award was made possible by a generous donation from Brenda M. Romero, professor emerita and founding Coordinator of Ethnomusicology at the University of Colorado Boulder, commemorating and celebrating her participation in the Centennial Anniversary of the CU College of Music in 2020.
The deadline to submit an application is Friday, Feb. 18.
Questions can be directed to graduate.contest@colorado.edu.
Thomas Hübl, renowned teacher, author, and international facilitator, will lead a Global Social Witnessing call to recognize the impact of the Marshall Fire in Boulder County from noon to 1:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 7. Global Social Witnessing is a practice to support healing and peace-building by gently turning our attention toward rather than away from challenging events in the world. We shift from being a bystander, mentally processing the latest news, to an active witness, responding from our bodies and hearts, as well as our minds. This event is co-hosted by the CU Boulder Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence, Naropa University and the Pocket Project.

The First Year Experience (FYE) Advisory Board welcomes proposals for Living Learning Communities (LLCs) to be implemented in fall 2023.
LLCs have long been recognized as a best practice within higher education. They are collaborative environments that support student learning and increase a sense of belonging and student connection. Additionally, they are an opportunity to build an intentional co curricular experience for students that serves as a bridge for learning both in and out of the classroom. Last year, the FYE program announced a multiyear initiative to increase the accessibility of learning communities to all incoming residential and commuting first-year students.
At CU Boulder, LLCs are cohorts of students that live and learn together around a specific topical area. LLCs offerings are based on various themes and academic areas, and have eligibility requirements for students to live in the community.
These communities engage students through activities, academic support structures and events that allow them to build a strong connection to CU Boulder. LLCs ensure that all incoming first-year students have access to participate in a residential community.
All interested departments, colleges and schools, staff and faculty are encouraged to submit an LLC proposal for consideration.
LLC proposal submissions will be accepted until June 6, 2022, with final decisions made by Aug. 1, 2022. Learn more about the LLC proposal timeline, requirements, expectations and submission process by visiting the Housing & Dining website.
Approved LLCs will be supported by the FYE Advisory Board through a shared funding model as well as logistical support throughout the implementation process.
Learn more about the LLC proposal process and get your questions answered at an upcoming listening session.

Adolescence is a significant period for brain development, during which certain individuals may be at a higher risk for experiencing stress and mood problems. The goal of the RRAY study is to learn about how certain cognitive abilities might make individuals more vulnerable or resilient in the face of stressful life events.
We are recruiting all teens age 13–19 for this two-year study. The study involves two study visits a year apart at our laboratory in Boulder, each lasting about six hours. During these visits you will be interviewed about your life experiences; you will complete some computer games that involve paying attention and learning; you will have a neuroimaging scan while you either rest quietly or play computer games; and you will answer a set of surveys on a computer.
Also as part of the study, you will complete a set of online surveys and a brief telephone interview once every three months (five times total during the two-year study participation). At the end of the study, you will have a final telephone interview, lasting about two hours.
You can earn up to $1,335 for completing all parts of the study, and get to take home a picture of your brain!
