At our first Joint Council meeting of the semester held on Sept. 11, we heard an update from Amy Moreno-Sherwood on the new Student Travel Request System that societies can apply for to receive funding through the CEAS. For the Student Travel Request Form, student societies will need to apply as a group and ensure they are filling out for departmental, BOLD and matching grant funding.
 
Each society shared an update on their conference travel planning for the fall. We discussed opportunities societies can use to recruit new students and concluded by sharing upcoming programs/events they are planning. That was the first of three Joint Council meeting for this semester. Our next meeting will be Mon., Oct. 21st!  

Each year, from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, we observe National Hispanic Heritage Month by celebrating the cultures, contributions and honoring the histories of Hispanic and Latino Americans whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America.  

CU Boulder Engineering recognizes that the terms “Hispanic” and “Latinx/é” do not describe the community’s identity as a whole. We also recognize that a term that feels right for one person may not adequately capture the experience of another. We seek to celebrate this month as broadly and inclusively as possible, and to encourage individuals to proudly claim whatever label(s) best describe how they personally identify. 

Are you an undergraduate interested in working in paid STEM research?

Are you looking for a program that will provide you with mentors and workshops that will guide you through the world of academic research?

Have you not been able to obtain research experience and/or have you encountered adversity/challenges during your undergraduate degree?

The Uplift Research Program (organized by the STEM Routes organization) could be a great opportunity for you! We are looking for engaged undergraduate students that are interested in conducting research in a STEM lab, no matter their previous experience. The deadline for students to submit an application to be considered for Uplift (Academic Year 2024-2025) is September 25, 2024 at 5 p.m. MST.
