 | CU Engineering Alumni Breakfast Series: 9/5 in the DTC with ME Prof. Virginia Ferguson
7:30 AM - 8:30 AM
CU Engineering Alumni and Friends are invited to join the College of Engineering and Applied Science and the Department of Mechanical Engineering for the September edition of our CU Engineering Alumni Breakfast Series! Mechanical Engineering Professor Virginia Ferguson will give a short
presentation entitled "Bioengineering Solutions: Preventing Pre-Term
Birth Using Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science Tools."
Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center - The Centennial Room. 7800 East Tufts Ave. Denver, CO 80237
Space is limited. Please RSVP by Aug. 30 online or by phone at 303-492-7190.
Presentation summary: Engineers and materials scientists bring a novel perspective to the role that mechanical forces and material structure plays in pregnancy and birth. While many pregnancies in the U.S. reach full term, about 12% of live babies are born prematurely. Prof. Ferguson will discuss how her lab is studying two tissues that experience mechanical failure and lead to premature birth, with the long-term goal of improving prediction of preterm birth and clinical care through novel bioengineering solutions. This work is funded by the Colorado Clinical Sciences and Translational Institute, the American Heart Association, and the Butcher Foundation at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Network with fellow engineering alumni and college faculty and staff. Reconnect with your alma mater and learn a little something too!

 | A Ditch in Time: Book Release
6:30 PM
The Center of the American West is proud to announce the release of A Ditch in Time: The City, the West, and Water, written by the Center’s very own Patty Limerick with Jason Hanson.
Water holds an under-exploited capacity to show the connections tying together distant places and seemingly unrelated groups. This book traces the history of water in Denver, using this case study to explore important and often under-recognized patterns in regional and national history. Energized by a quality of wit and humor rarely encountered in books about natural resources and bureaucracies, and enriched with photographs and maps, this book raises questions of consequence about the complex relationship among cities, suburbs, and rural areas, the crucial role of engineering in shaping the West, and the varying roles of contention and cooperation, litigation and negotiation, at work in the control of water.
Followed by a reception, book sales, and book signing in the Heritage Center, located on the top floor of Old Main. |

 | Inaugural Jewish Studies Colloquium with Jewish Folklore Expert, Dr. Howard Schwartz
4:00 PM - 6:00 PM
The Program in Jewish Studies begins their brand new colloquium for CU's
Jewish Studies community with special guest and visiting professor
Howard Schwartz with his lecture "How the Ari Created a Myth and Transformed Judaism." Please join us on Thursday, September 6 at 4PM. Space is limited and RSVP's are required for participation. Please email Nicholas.Underwood@colorado.edu to RSVP and receive readings and location or call 303.492.7143.
While most modern Jews interpret the term tikkum olam - meaning
"repair of the world" - as a synonym for social action, what they don't
know is that this idea is rooted in the last great myth infused into
Jewish tradition, the creation of the renowned 16th century Jewish
mystic, Rabbi Isaac Luria of Safed,
known as the Ari. This lecture presents the myth of the Ari and its
implications and demonstrates how it was created out of existing
rabbinic and kabbalistic traditions.
Howard Schwartz, a three-time winner of the
National Jewish Book Award, is Professor of English at the University of
Missouri-St. Louis. He is the editor of four collections of Jewish
folklore: Elijah's Violin & Other Jewish Fairy Tales, Miriam's
Tambourine: Jewish Folktales from Around the World, Lilith's Cave:
Jewish Tales of the Supernatural and Gabriel's Palace: Jewish Mystical Tales. He is also the author of Tree of Souls: The Mythology of Judaism, which won the National Jewish Book Award in 2005. His most recent book, Leaves from the Garden of Eden: One Hundred Classic Jewish Tales, was published by Oxford University Press in 2008. He is also the editor of ten children's books, including Next Year in Jerusalem (National Jewish Book Award and Aesop Prize 1994), The Day the Rabbi Disappeared (National Jewish Book Award and Aesop Prize 2000), and Before You Were Born (Koret Prize 2005). |

Please limit your company registration to two people unless your company is one of our sponsors. Dress for this event is business or business casual attire. Please bring plenty of business cards, and help the students learn the art of networking by giving them some pointers at the event. As business professionals, you have had plenty of networking experience, and know the art of "working a room." We are counting on you to show the students how it is done.
At 7:00pm, attending employer representatives will introduce themselves, so that students will get an idea of who is with what company.

 | Live Faculty Talk: Odometers of Time - 2012 is NOT the End
7:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Myth: In 700 AD, the Maya predicted the end of the world on 21 December 2012. Or else the date marks the beginning of a positive and physical transformation for the Earth.
Fact: The Maya of Central America used many calendars to record important historical events and to chronicle time periods. They were masters at identifying the movements of planets, the phases of the moon and sun, and could even predict eclipses. They did not, however, foretell the end of the world.
To sort out the facts from the fiction, archaeologist and epigrapher Inga Calvin, University of Colorado-Boulder Anthropology Department, discusses the writing and calendar systems used by the Maya from AD 200-909. View the latest archaeological discoveries, look at the data, and ponder the evidence. |

Addressing information inequities to reduce health disparities for Korean-American immigrants
Health information is a critical resource for guiding decisions about health care and health promotion. Yet, immigrants are often disconnected from the relevant health information they need. Korean-Americans, in particular, encounter serious problems with cancer morbidity and mortality due to communication breakdowns within the health care system. This presentation will describe an intensive field research and intervention program designed to address information inequities and reduce health disparities for this large and growing immigrant population. This research underscores development of a new communication model for reducing health disparities.

Past participants have come from fields as diverse as history, political science, art history, philosophy, anthropology, comparative literature, and theater.
RMIHC mirrors the format and structure of a professional academic conference; each panel features a faculty moderator, a graduate student commentator, and a group discussion. We welcome first-time presenters and more advanced graduate students who wish to prepare for larger conferences. RMIHC combines the high standards of a professional conference with an atmosphere conducive to productive learning, positive feedback, and interdisciplinary discussion.

Also on view are published Hogarth works from the Special Collections Department, Norlin Library, University Libraries as well as a video of the 1975 Glyndebourne Festival Opera production of Igor Stravinsky’s The Rake’s Progress, with stage and costume designs by David Hockney, allowing audiences to experience a major performance inspired by the similarly titled Hogarth and Hockney print series.
