CSU will be hosting the Spectrum Sizzle 2025, a free undergraduate student workshop on RF Spectrum usage and policy sponsored by NSF.  The workshop will provide free room and board for 3 days on the CSU campus from June 9-12.  Topics include:

• Spectrum Policy, Proceedings, and Rule-making
• Passive Systems, Spectrum Analysis, and Frequency Allocations
• Communication Systems, Modulation, and Coexistence

A handful of CU Boulder have students registered already, but there is still space for a few more.

Registration is through Baylor University, but the event is at CSU.

Are you a CU Boulder graduate student looking to grow as a reflective, justice-oriented educator—free of charge? Join us for the Critical Dialogic Pedagogy Micro-Credential Program (Fall 2025) Co-sponsored by CU Dialogues and CTL

This free, 10-week workshop series is designed for CU Boulder graduate students interested in developing reflective, justice-oriented teaching practices. The program is open to up to 20 graduate instructors and focuses on dialogic pedagogy, somatic reflection, and intersectional equity practices. Spots are limited and fill quickly, so early application is encouraged.
