The LYNX UP Challenge is an annual, friendly competition for CU Denver faculty and staff to further support our students' success by investing in scholarships. This year the campus is divided into four teams, named after four of the 14ers in Colorado. CLAS is on Team Quandary with the Office of International Affairs, Experiential Learning Center, Office of Undergraduate Student Experiences and the Career Center. The team with the highest proportion of faculty and staff making gifts to support CU Denver student scholarships wins bragging rights. Gifts of every size make a difference to help students achieve their goals.
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.
