CLAS Dissemination Grants support faculty to engage in activities that promote their research and creative work and enhance the profile of the College and University.  This award supports travel to disseminate research findings and creative work or assist with publication expenses.  Applications are due on March 11, 2022.  See the CRISP website for more information and application form.

The Biology, Dr. Lisa Johansen, the Experiential Learning Center, and Liz Evans from EUReCA will be hosting the first of 3 Internship Workshops specifically for Biology students on February 11, 2022, 11:00a to Noon.

For the first workshop, we are going to focus on "how to get an internship" and "how to find research opportunities". We also have a couple of students who have done both to answer student questions. This event is both on campus and over Zoom.

Just an FYI, the March workshop will be about writing resumes and cover letters. The April one.... TBD.

Please see the attached flyer for more information.

Thanks so much.

To help prevent the transmission of COVID, CU Denver will provide KN95 masks — one of the most effective tools available—and iHealth antigen at-home COVID tests. Each Dean’s office has received masks and tests and will be in touch with its own employees when and where those are available. All other employees can pick up their mask and box of two tests at Lynx Central in Student Commons. Leaders of offices in Lawrence Street Center, 1380 Lawrence St., may contact Ali Medina to request tests and masks for their units.

At-home tests are also available through the federal government’s site at COVIDtests.gov.

CU Denver requires a COVID-19 booster shot to be considered “fully vaccinated” to come to campus. Individuals are only required to get a booster if they are eligible (i.e. six months after previous Pfizer and Moderna vaccination or two months from Johnson & Johnson vaccination). Those currently eligible must have received their booster shot by Feb. 1. You can schedule your free booster shot at the Health Center at Auraria or through other providers in the metro Denver area.

Schedule an Appointment

You can schedule same-day appointments at the 5th Street Garage. Results are typically available within 36 hours. Other sites for testing are available from your healthcare provider and COVIDCheckColorado.
