| Alumni Assessment Series (Multi-Day Event)
All Day
Three Tuesdays, January 8, 15 & 29; 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Do
you want to gain more clarity about your passions, interests and
strengths to help you know what career direction to take? Do you have a
job but are looking for something that is more fulfilling? Have you
been laid off and now are ready to explore another career path but
aren’t sure which one would be the best fit?
It’s important to
know who you are and what you have to offer. Taking assessments is a
great place to start as it will increase your level of self-awareness
and help you know which career path is right for you. By the end of the
series, you’ll have more clarity regarding which career paths will be
the best match based on your personality, interests, strengths and
values. You will have an understanding of your transferable skills,
accomplishments, as well as knowledge of how to market yourself.
THIS IS AN ALUMNI ONLY EVENT
The series includes the following assessments:
Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) - The MBTI is a questionnaire designed to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions.
Strong Interest Inventory (SII) - The
SII identifies occupational interests based on personal likes and
dislikes of activities, occupations, academic courses and people.
Understanding your Strong profile can help you identify a career focus
and begin your career planning and exploration process.
StrengthsFinder - Measures
the presence of talent in 34 areas called “themes.” This assessment
points to your greatest talents and potential strengths. The results
given will be a description of your five Signature Talents.
Values Card Sort - A simple tool that helps prioritize your values.
Conducting
assessments in a group is an effective way to gain insight through
feedback from the counselors and other participants.
Assessments are no longer offered through one-on-one counseling for alums who are more than one year out from graduation (except if you live outside of the area).
DO NOT REGISTER HERE. If you would like to sign up, please call the front desk at 303-492-6541 to register (you need to be able to attend all three classes)
Cost is $60, which includes the cost of the assessments and
refreshments. The class is facilitated by Career Counselors Lea Alvarado
and Blair Fraser.
Note: If you have
taken an assessment previously and you still have your results, the cost
of that instrument will be deducted from your total cost. |

 | Through Soviet Jewish Eyes Goes to New York
Professor David Shneer, Director of Jewish Studies, Louis P. Singer Endowed Chair in Jewish History, and Professor in History and Lisa Tamiris Becker, Director of the CU Art Museum will be attending the opening of the CU curated exhibition Through Soviet Jewish Eyes: Photography, War, and the Holocaust at the New York Museum of Jewish Heritage.
Through Soviet Jewish Eyes: Photography, War, and the Holocaust
Edmond J. Safra Plaza
36 Battery Place
Battery Place City
New York City, NY 10280
Although World War II is one of the most documented conflicts of the 20th century, western audiences know very little about the Soviet Jewish photojournalists who captured some of the most riveting and powerful images of the war. Such photographers as Evgenii Khaldei, Georgii Zelma, and Dmitrii Baltermants merged documentary phography with avant-garde modernist sensibilities to create works that have had a profound influence on 20th century art and beyond.
The critically acclaimed exhibition will run from November 16, 2012 - April 7, 2013. |
| Graduate Students - Explore Alternative Career Paths
1:15 AM - 2:45 AM
Graduate Teacher Program Spring Conference: Problem Oriented Teaching and Learning
Explore Alternative Career Paths
Thursday, January 10, 2013
1:15 – 2:45 p.m.
Hale 230
What
do you do when the job market doesn’t provide the direct career path
you’ve invested in? Are there alternative careers that need your
knowledge, skills and talents? Yes, and step one in finding your
alternative career path is transferring the interests, knowledge, skills
and talents you already possess. We will engage you in an individual
mapping process and identify next steps in this career transition. |
 | Beetles: Exploring the diversity, beauty & behavior of beetles
9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Beetles are one of the most successful organisms on the planet. Representing 40 percent of all insects and having existed for millions of years, they make up 25 percent of all known species.
Immerse yourself in "Beetles" and explore their diversity, beauty and behavior. Highlighting hundreds upon hundreds of beetles the exhibition includes: the dung beetle, famous for recycling animal feces, and in fact, one species is successful in removing 80 percent of all cattle droppings in parts of Texas; Hercules beetles, as part of the rhinoceros beetle subfamily, is capable of supporting 850 times its weight making it the strongest animal on earth; and the well known and beautiful ladybug is considered an omen of good luck!
The exhibition includes a special display of beetle artwork created by local artist and author Steve Jenkins.
The University of Colorado Museum of Natural History is closed on all University holidays. |

ABSTRACT:
Linking large-scale diversity to microbial and biomolecular details is key to understanding metagenomes, metatranscriptomes, and the human microbiome. This is true for associating microbial membership with function in any microbial community, for identifying microbe-microbe ecological interactions, and for pinpointing ways in which host-microbe homeostasis is maintained in health and perturbed in disease. Two important resources for doing so are, first, the catalog of thousands of sequenced microbial isolates and, second, our prior knowledge of the human genome's perturbations in immune and inflammatory conditions, particularly in the gut. To take advantage of the first, I will discuss the PhlAn tools for phylogenetic analysis, which allow high-precision identification of microbes in communities and characterization of their phylogenetic relationships. In conjunction with the HUMAnN system for metabolic profiling, these have established an overview of microbial metabolism and function core to the healthy human microbiome. Second, I will discuss recent work in profiling host-microbe interactions using genetic, transcriptomic, and sequence information, focusing on a study of host gene expression in pouchitis as correlated with changes in the microbiota. Large perturbations in this setting mirror those in disruption of microbial function during Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as other strongly inflammatory conditions, with substantial remaining variation explained by host-specific immune gene expression.
Go to http://huttenhower.sph.harvard.edu for more information about Dr. Huttenhower’s research.
Transportation options between East and Main campuses are listed below:
Anyone with a valid Eco pass can ride the Stampede bus that runs between campuses. The Stampede has been set up to run in a two way direction every 10 minutes. Bus stops for this line are located on 18th street and along Colorado Avenue. There are bus stops in front of JSCBB on the north and south side of Colorado Ave.
If coming by bicycle or by foot you can either take the Boulder Creek Path (just past 30th street you will come to where the path goes south to JSCBB) or travel east along Colorado Avenue. If you bike in, there are covered and uncovered bike carrels. Bikes are not allowed in the building so be sure to bring your lock. If you prefer to drive there is metered parking located on the northwest side and the southeast side of JSCBB that takes credit cards or coin.
