Winter means cancelled classes – it is as simple as that. Whether it is a snow storm, icy streets or an sick instructor, each winter we have to cancel a few classes.
How can you make sure you find out about your class?
Here are four things you can do to check if you class has been cancelled:
1) Check for signs posted outside of the classroom next to the door.
2) Check the message on the Continuing Education ‘s Severe Weather/Course Cancellation phone line. All you have to do is call 303-735-5000 to hear an up-to-date recording of what classes have been cancelled.
3) Check your email. We will email you about your specific class cancellation. You need to make sure we have the best email address to use to reach you.
4) Get automatic weather cancellation updates through our Twitter feed. You can sign up for Twitter and follow “CUEveningAlerts”. Change the settings so that updates from CUEveningAlerts are sent to your mobile phone. We promise not to tweet about anything other than a class cancellation. When you are done with the semester, you can unfollow CUEveningAlerts.

The Sustainable Practices Certificate Program is featured in the latest Inside CU.
For Geoff Rubinstein, it made perfect sense to establish a sustainability program within the Division of Continuing Education and Professional Studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
“There’s a recognition that CU-Boulder is one of the top universities in the country in both climate science and renewable energy research,” said Rubinstein, director of the division’s Independent Learning program. “We wanted to extend that talent, vision and leadership and create educational programs and resources that reach beyond the university.”
Now in its third year, the non-credit Sustainable Practices Certificate Program is offered to a diverse audience through Independent Learning in association with CU’s College of Engineering and Applied Science.

Experts To Localize Impact of Current Economic Crisis
at ‘CU @ The Boulder Public Library’ Event January 13
View the recorded lectures here.
BOULDER – With news about the economy worsening by the day, many are wondering where the bottom is, when a recovery will begin and how the recession will affect their long-term financial prospects.
To address these concerns, “CU @ The Boulder Public Library” will host a panel of economic experts for a discussion entitled, “The Economic Crisis and You: Views and Perspectives” on January 13, 2009, at 6:30 p.m. in the Library’s Canyon Theater.
The program will begin with a reception at 6 p.m., followed by the panel discussion and question and answer period. Tickets or reservations are not required and the program and reception are free and open to the public.
The panel will feature CU-Boulder Professor Keith Maskus and Instructor Jay Kaplan of the Department of Economics along with Senior Instructor Susan Morley of the Leeds School of Business. Associate Professor Rich Wobbekind of the Leeds School of Business will be moderating as well as participating in the panel discussion.
Keith Maskus, professor of economics and associate dean for social sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences, is an expert on domestic and international finance. His current research focuses on changes in the structure of comparative advantage in international trade, dynamics of Asian trade patterns, the protection of intellectual property rights, and multilateral trade policy. His comments will focus on the international sources of the crisis and how the crisis might affect global economic relations.
Jay Kaplan is a senior instructor of economics who specializes in regulation and banking. He has worked for the Colorado governor’s office estimating revenues and the fiscal impact of tax policy as well as for the Federal Reserve Board in Washington, D.C. His research includes work with the telecommunications industry and Colorado fiscal policies.
Susan Morley, a senior instructor in the Leeds School of Business, teaches business law and tax courses, including a personal finance course that empowers students to successfully make and carry out a plan for their financial future.
Richard Wobbekind, associate professor in the Leeds School of Business, is the director of the Business Research Division and associate dean for the MBA and Enterprise Programs. As director of the Business Research Division, his responsibilities include developing an annual consensus forecast of the Colorado economy and performing various economic impact assessments of the Colorado economy.
The January 13 program is sponsored by the CU-Boulder Outreach Committee, Boulder Public Library, Boulder Arts Commission, Division of Continuing Education and Professional Studies, Leeds School of Business, and College of Arts & Sciences.
The next installment of the “CU @ The Boulder Public Library” series will feature Professor Emeritus Marc Bekoff from the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology speaking on his research, “Animal Emotions and Wild Justice: Reflections on How to Increase Our Compassion Footprint” on February 10 at 7:00 p.m.
