Week in Review:
- Madeline Mader has stepped up as the new Speaker of the Assembly!
- COVID update from Chairs & Directors meeting: Boulder county transmission rate is currently 165/100k and mask mandate will not ease up until we hit about 50/100k. Student vaccination reporting rate is around 91% and CU is considered a fully vaccinated organization.
- Classes will not be changing teaching modality unless there is a campus wide change in modality - from information we’ve been given this is extremely unlikely.
- Met with disability services last week. Grad students are encouraged to reach out to that office even if you only think you may qualify for services and accommodations. Accommodations extend to milestone exams in addition to coursework. They can also interface with the employee services office if you need accommodations related to teaching or research work.
- OIEC presented at Assembly about the campus culture survey, which will be administered this fall. Information about the survey is here. Please encourage grad students you know to take the survey so we can get as much data as possible!
If any questions arise, you can reach out to your representative or contact us at gpsg@colorado.edu.
We hope you stay safe and have a great week,
Emily Jensen, Barra Peak, and Bobby Vondrasek
