CEAS Student News - Nov. 2, 2021

CU Boulder and the College of Engineering & Applied Science promote an environment for all community members – students, faculty and staff – to feel respected, supported, and valued. The invitation to take the Campus Culture Survey ensures your voice is heard as we learn more about campus culture and where we need to improve.

Did you know that CU has an official Student Code of Conduct that details standards of conduct that students are responsible for upholding? Students are subject to adjudication by the Office of Student Conduct & Conflict Resolution if not adhering to the code. Similarly, faculty are bound by the Professional Rights and Responsibilities of Faculty Members, which promotes treating students with understanding, dignity and respect.

An easy way to be intentional about cultivating civility in the classroom, at office hours or tutoring/help lab, on and off campus, is to THINK about it: Is what you are about to say, do or write true, helpful, inspiring, necessary and kind?

If it’s not, you always have the opportunity to reconsider, reflect, refine or let it go. Be a positive force in cultivating civility in the CU Engineering community!

• Don’t forget to apply online to graduatetoday if you are graduating in December 2021.
• Consider nominating a fellow student who is graduating with their bachelor’s degree in December for a CU Engineering award! Please review thecriteria associated with each award and consider entering a nomination by Nov. 3 if someone who is graduating comes to mind (self-nominations are not allowed).

Do you need a brain break where you can be creative? Are you interested in helping us paint a mural for the Engineering Center? We would love your feedback on which mural design you and the rest of the student body could take part in painting. Please fill out this quick form and stay tuned for more information! Voting will close on Sunday, Nov. 7, at 11:59 p.m.
