This Friday, members of the campus community are invited to join Chancellor DiStefano and Provost Moore for the annual presentation of ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder faculty awards and the introduction of faculty members receiving tenure and promotion. The ceremony will be preceded by two programs earlier in the day, hosted in collaboration with Family Weekend.

Every now and then you hear the question: Do intercollegiate athletic programs belong in higher education?ÌýEarlier this month several staff members in our athletic department addressed this question as we looked ahead to the next three years in forming our strategic plan.

Professor McKell Carter studies how social information influences the decisions people make, as well as how people predict others' behaviors. His expertise will be part of a French documentary that delves into the minds of world-class poker players.

During Family Weekend on Sept. 30, faculty from the College of Media, Communication and Information will analyze this historic and controversial presidential campaign – from journalism, advertisingÌýand data analytics perspectives – which features candidates who have the highest negative ratings of any contenders in recent history.

¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Presents’ 80th-anniversary Artist Series kicks off with a desert-inspired dance performance by MOMIX, a company famous for its astounding creativity and stunning visual tricks. The company, an Artist Series favorite, is back by popular demand with a Boulder premiere on Sunday, Oct. 2.
