The American Association of University Women has awarded a 2018–19 American Fellowships to Emily Hammad Mrig, doctoral scholar in Health and Behavioral Sciences at University of Colorado Denver. Mrig's research examines the unintended outcomes of health insurance expansion by examining access to genetic testing among women diagnosed with breast cancer. She plans to use this research to inform health policy recommendations that aim for higher quality, more accessible, quitable, and affordable health care. "The support and backing of AAUW have given me a head start on my journey toward accomplishing both my academic and career aspirations," said Mrig.
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.
