Eleven CU-Denver students and Chemistry faculty mentors presented their research on a variety of topics, including DNA modification, cell signaling, and chemistry education, at the 2017 American Chemical Society Rocky Mountain Regional Meeting in Loveland, Colorado, October 25-28. Masters students Kirubel Tekletsadik and Nara Chon, postdoctoral scholar Chun-Hung Wang, and undergraduates Hai Tran and Timothy Spotts each delivered oral research presentations, and undergraduates Austin Skinner, Cassandra Herbert, Erast Davidjuk, and Lamont Sharp presented posters. Mr. Sharp won a Best Poster award for his presentation at the meeting, and several students won travel awards from the Colorado section of the American Chemical Society to attend the conference. Professors Marino Resendiz and Jefferson Knight also presented research at the meeting.
Canvas Outage
Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.
Instructure, the company that owns Canvas, has provided an FAQ about the incident, which may not answer all your questions. We will share more information if it becomes available.
