Making a Societal Impact via Research Series
Co-chaired by Jin Peng and Sameer Prasad, the Interdisciplinary Research Series Committee is organizing a series of roundtable discussions with support from the Office of Sustainability and the College of Business. The series will be hosted virtually via Zoom, running from 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM Mountain Time, and will include participants from Europe, Africa, Asia, and of course, UCCS.
In this research series, we aim to provide guidance to graduate students and faculty from diverse disciplines at UCCS and beyond on how research can make a meaningful impact on society. We will begin with a discussion on how to frame strong research questions, the importance of developing questions from the ground up, and how clear, specific questions can benefit practitioners.
With all these engaging discussions, we expect a wealth of ideas to emerge. The series will conclude with a brainstorming session, potentially including a conversation on high-altitude research, inspired by our Colorado setting.
Annual Events
Bike to Work Day
Bike to Work Day at UCCS is a campus-wide celebration promoting sustainable transportation, healthy living, and community engagement. Participants enjoy free breakfast, bike tune-ups, and fun giveaways while connecting with local organizations and fellow cyclists.
Move Out
At the end of every academic year, students throw away hundreds of goods that could be donated. Old clothes, furniture, decorations, towels, bedding and other necessities.
Creek Week + Clean The Stream
UCCS adopted a segment of the creek through the City of Colorado Springs' adopt-a-waterway cleanup program. Three times a year, we invite volunteers to help us cleanup this precious resource.
