Colloquium

Co-chairs: Sam Ahler (sam.ahler@colorado.edu) and Ellen Waddle (Ellen.Waddle@colorado.edu)

Colloquium committee plans and runs the EBIO Colloquium Speaker Series. This is the largest committee in the department, with many positions ranging from high to low involvement: committee chairs, tech support, grad lunch support, etc. Members of Colloquium Committee also vote on speakers for the upcoming academic year. Everything about the seminar series is organized by graduate students and this committee is an excellent way to be involved in the department with however much involvement you want to commit to. Meetings to bring in new members occur in the Spring Semester.

EBIO Club Graduate Representatives

Sara Padula (sara.padula@colorado.edu) and Will Churchill (wian6764@colorado.edu)

This committee works with the Undergraduate Biology Club to provide opportunities for undergraduates to get engaged in the department beyond coursework.  The main event is the Grad-Undergrad Social that happens each spring, where all EBIO grad students are invited to recruit undergrads to work with them on their research.  The committee updates resources for this event each year, including grad student research blurbs and contact info. The committee also seeks to boost attendance for or create 2-3 additional events each year, including the fall faculty-undergraduate research social, campus-wide undergraduate recruitment events (e.g., the UROP symposium), and events to address other needs of undergraduates in the department (e.g., a career panel or job fair).

Bugslist Manager

Alec Chiono (Alec.Chiono@colorado.edu) is the graduate students's  Bugslist manager. Alec can help grad students subscribe, check subscription status or unsubscribe. 

Bugs list is the informal email group for EBIO grad students (and some alumni). Typically, we use this list to ask for help, items/equipment, or advertise events that we might not want to blast to the whole department. Incoming students, this may be a good place to ask for help in your housing search.
