Legal trouble? Student Legal Services can help

Student Legal Services is a small law office dedicated exclusively to serving the legal needs of CU Boulder students, sponsored by the CU Boulder Student Government.

Our mission is to help students resolve or minimize their legal situations so they can focus on school. SLS has several attorneys on staff who can help students make sense of their legal situations, explain their options and help them prevent their legal issues from spiraling out of control. We’ll even tell students when we think they don’t need lawyers.

Participants needed for a research study on internet memes

Do you love memes? Do you often find yourself laughing at them and sharing them with friends and family? If so, you would be perfect for a one-time, one-hour focus group discussion about them! We are interested in knowing more about how people interact with memes on social media and what is going on inside their heads when they see them. Focus group meetings will be conducted in-person on the CU Boulder Main Campus during the month of November. Participants will be compensated with a $10 Target gift card. If you are interested in participating or have questions, please contact Chris Vardeman at chris.vardeman@colorado.edu.

At the Association of American Universities fall meeting this week, member presidents and chancellors, including CU Boulder Chancellor Philip DiStefano, adopted a set of principles to "help prevent sexual harassment in academia. In adopting the principles, America’s leading research universities are committing to meaningful efforts to fight sexual harassment on their campuses by agreeing to share information about accused harassers and to see all investigations into sexual misconduct through to completion, regardless of whether the accused harasser has moved on to other employment."

Virtual Shakespeare and violence prevention for grades 3–5, 6–12

“And I say there was never man thus abused!”

Watch an abridged Shakespeare play (filmed at CSF!) and join the actors for an hour-long workshop connecting the performance to how you can be an “Upstander” in your community. 

The Colorado Shakespeare Festival’s Shakespeare & Violence Prevention program is a partnership with the Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence. Based on the latest violence-prevention research, we’ve paired two of Shakespeare’s plays with a curriculum based in SEL and conflict-management. 

Typically available only for school groups, CSF is offering two age-specific workshops for interested students. Participants will view an abridged performance, then participate in a 50-minute virtual workshop with the actors. They will explore the patterns of violence in the play and roleplay their own solutions, practicing ways to move from bystander to Upstander!

Workshop for grades 3–5

  • Tuesday, Dec. 14, 4–5 p.m.
  • Prior to the workshop, we will share a link to view a 35-minute film of Twelfth Night.

Workshop for grades 6–12

  • Wednesday, Dec. 15, 4–5 p.m.
  • Prior to the workshop, we will share a link to view a 45-minute film of Julius Caesar.

What does the $25 ticket include?

  • Link to view the performance (via password-protected website)
  • Zoom link for one spot in the actor-led workshop
  • Comprehensive study guide with curriculum ideas, violence prevention research and plot/character descriptions (available in English and Spanish)
  • Pre-recorded, condensed version of the workshop (available for students unable to attend the synchronous workshop)
