CU Boulder Fraternity & Sorority Life would like to introduce you to the newly recognized fraternity community at CU Boulder! Fraternity life is changing nationwide, and recognized chapters will be able to be a part of an innovative movement to shape what fraternity means to CU Boulder. 

Over the course of the next few weeks, our new fraternities will be holding rush events to recruit men who truly want to make a difference at CU Boulder. Because our chapters are new to campus, students who choose to join the recognized chapters will have the ability to shape their chapter culture and influence the development of a soon-to-be CU Interfraternity Council.

To learn more about the campus's new fraternity community, join us to learn more about Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Tau Gamma and Beta Theta Pi at the CU Boulder Fraternity Open House from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 19, in UMC 235.

The fraternity experience is one that can provide members with a deep connection not only to their chapter but also to our alma mater. It is also an experience that can be different if you choose to join a recognized chapter. We encourage you to visit following websites for more information.

• CU Boulder Fraternity & Sorority Life 
• Beta Theta Pi
• Phi Delta Theta
• Sigma Tau Gamma

Just in time for fall 2019 course planning, the Office of the Registrar’s Academic Scheduling team is excited to announce the recent launch of our new online course proposal and course revision forms. The new forms replace the paper forms (expiring after Sept. 30) and make the entire process more efficient, transparent and collaborative by:

• Allowing the submitter to upload comments and supporting documentation for the approvers
• Checking for errors as the submitter completes the form, helping to keep typos from derailing the submission
• Identifying every catalog page on which the course appears, alerting the submitter to potential down-stream effects (key departments receive an FYI notification when course changes are submitted)
• Sending reviewers and approvers automated reminders to keep the process moving
• Allowing the submitter to track the form’s status as it moves through the review and approval process

The online course proposal and revision forms are pretty intuitive and have many of the same fields and request similar data as the previous paper forms. If you have any questions, please email academicscheduling@colorado.edu.

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of remotely operated telepresence human avatars for long-distance video conferencing presented in augmented reality. The study will take approximately 45 minutes, and you will be compensated $10.

To qualify, you must be between the ages of 18 and 45 years old.

If you have questions, please email cuironlab@gmail.com, or sign up directly under AR Telepresence.
