Student Edition - April 18, 2017

A student-built microsatellite is on its way to the International Space Station today after launching successfully from Cape Canaveral. The satellite will become part of a network of miniaturized satellites studying a portion of Earth’s atmosphere.

An essential element of the university’s success is its people. As an institution, we need to continuously examine how our employees are supported and connected to our community. This fall, I charged a task force to examine work-life issues for front-line service staff at CU Boulder. These employees play a valued role in the life of the university, and we need to improve our ability to attract, develop and retain employees in these positions and provide a welcoming working environment.
