Week 8 Wisdom: Get Organized 

For anyone who started the quarter with a great system in place, or those who promised yourself that "next week" I'll organize, or anyone who never thought about getting organized at all this quarter make some time this week to do it, before the madness of Week 9 and 10 set in. Here's one organization tactic that may work for you: 
Grab all of your notes, old tests, quizzes, projects/papers and any handouts, and place them in piles (or desktop folders) based on subject. Then put them in order. This will help you make sure you aren't missing any topics that can be on your finals, you may want to cross-reference with your syllabus too. You could also make 1 page summaries for each chapter/content area. This will help you study and allows you to skip through any repetitive parts of the chapter or sections that you may not be tested on.

Diversity Summit

20th Annual Diversity Summit: "We Rise to the Challenge Beyond Diversity"

January-March 2021 | All Virtual

Welcome to our final week of the 20th Annual Diversity Summit.  This week students, staff, and faculty will guide us in considering multiple forms of social justice praxis, including activism, assessment, and career pathways, toward transforming our everyday engagements into practices of equity.

Here is a snapshot of this week’s remaining sessions:
Wednesday March 3rd (5:00pm-6:30pm) – From “I to We” and “Me to Us”: Inclusive Practices in Higher Education Learning. You can register here.

Thursday March 4th (12:00pm-1:00pm) – A Conversation Between Chancellor Haefner & Kevin MacDonald: Antiracism and Reckoning with Complex Institutional History. You can register here.

If you are not available to join us, you can view the session recordings on our Canvas course.

What Makes our Undergraduate Students Unique?

As many of you know, DU (along with our partners at Carnegie Dartlet) have been engaging in an important research effort to learn more about our University. With your help, we have already defined “who” we are as an institution. Now we need your continued help to define what makes our undergraduate students unique—your interests, drives and motivations. And the only people who can do that are you: the students themselves.

Survey link – https://carnegiedartlet.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5BfhN4LGUoPnYj4

Your participation is critical—and should take no more than 15 minutes to complete. Your answers will remain anonymous and will not be attributed to you in any way. And as an incentive, we are offering each survey participant a chance to win a $150 gift card to GrubHub. 

Thank you for your participation and active involvement in this important work!
