CLAS is currently soliciting nominations for Spring 2022 Outstanding Graduate Student Awards. Departments may nominate one individual in each of two categories: Masters and Ph.D. To be eligible for these awards, a student must be currently enrolled in an Integrative Biology (IB) graduate program. Nominees must be eligible to graduate at the end of the semester in which they are nominated. Summer graduates are eligible for the Fall awards cycle.

Please see the attached document for more information.

AHEC (Auraria Higher Education Center) would like me to pass on this message regarding the mail slips which are being used as backup for the postage billing. Please forward to your department’s staffs and faculty members.

Effective immediately, Distribution Services will no longer accept outgoing mail or packages from CU Denver departments without a completed mail charge slip. You can pick up mail charge slips at Distribution Services when you drop off your mail or packages. Alternatively, you can request mail charge slips be delivered to you via intercampus mail by contacting:

Joe Duran

joe.duran@ahec.edu

Here is the mail charge slip in PDF version. The actual slip from AHEC will have yellow and pink copy. It will require Mail Code number or Speedtype to be filled in. https://www.ahec.edu/files/general/Postage_Metered_Mail_Charge_Slip_interactive.pdf.  Jacki Craig has these slips in her office if you need one.

Thank you and feel free to contact me if you have questions.

Best,

To help prevent the transmission of COVID via aerosols, CU Denver will provide KN95 masks — one of the most effective tools available — starting Monday, Jan. 31. We are increasing our inventory of KN95s and have a limited inventory currently, but continue to have single-use surgical masks available in every building.

We also have a supply of iHealth antigen at-home COVID tests, which may be picked up on campus beginning on Jan. 31. Priority will go to students, faculty, and staff who are regularly on campus. Antigen tests appear to have limited sensitivity to detect the Omicron variant so these tests should not be used for definitive conclusions about whether you have COVID. If you are symptomatic, please stay home, even if you test negative with an antigen test.

As we prepare to return to in-person instruction, it is critical that we take every measure possible to slow the spread of COVID.

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 get their booster shot by Feb. 1.

According to CDPHE, Coloradans receiving boosters are 2.4 times less likely to get infected with COVID-19 than people who only received two doses of Pfizer or Moderna or one dose of Johnson & Johnson.

You can schedule your free booster shot at the Health Center at Auraria or through other providers in the metro Denver area. Because most students, faculty, and staff have granted CU Denver access to the state COVID-19 vaccination database, for most people, no action is required to confirm your booster status

You can schedule same-day appointments at the 5th Street Garage. Results are typically available within 36 hours. On Monday, Jan. 31, from 8-11 a.m. and Tuesday, Feb. 1, from 12-3 p.m., you can get a rapid antigen test at Student Commons, Room 1401. Other sites for testing are available from your healthcare provider and COVIDCheckColorado.
