BOLD NEWS

BOLD Screens - Content call!

Hey Folks! We've got some fancy new screens we'd love to fill with your art, research projects, community events and society posters!

Did you do something cool for first year projects?
Do you create art?
Did you make something in tinkerCAD?

Share it with the BOLD Community!

We're not looking for perfection, we're looking to represent our community's work on the walls! That means documentation, works in progress, etc. are all welcome.

Reach out to a.grace.wilson@colorado.edu if you have any questions!

Welcome Letters from the BOLD Student Societies

Hi Folks!

The BOLD-affiliated student societies did a beautiful job writing letters to our incoming students, and there's also lots of info for our continuing community members.

For some of us, this will be the first time being on campus, and societies are an amazing way to find friends, food(!) and excellent opportunities to network, connect with our various affinities and identities, and come through engineering feeling supported!

The nonpartisan Redistricting Data Hub was founded by veterans of the pioneering redistricting legal cases, independent commissions and ballot initiatives in Florida, Arizona and other states. We are working to make the redistricting process more accessible to the public, prevent gerrymandering through increased transparency, and to offer tools to aid individuals and experts as they draw and evaluate proposed maps.

The position is paid at $20/hr, full-time and fully remote. We anticipate this being a 12–16 week full-time position, to start early Sept. and run through Dec. 2021.
