Welcome to CU-Prime!
Congratulations on awards!(posted on Dec 3 2020, updated Jan 21 2021)Several CU-Prime organizers are among the recipients of the (inaugural) Fall 2020 semester's CU Physics Department's graduate student excellence awards. Congrats to Brynn Reiff, Ian Leahy, Katie Rainey, and Tyler McMaken! Katie Rainey has been selected as a student recipient of the 2021 President's Diversity Award, due in part to her work in CU-Prime! This award recognizes significant achievements of CU faculty, staff, students, and units in developing a culturally and intellectually diverse university community reflective of inclusive excellence. Congrats, Katie! in solidarity with Black Lives Matter(posted on June 12, 2020) We recognize that statements like these are not solutions, and often ring hollow if not accompanied by direct action. On the other hand, we believe that the ideas behind such statements are important to communicate, amplify, and spread, and that it is our duty as an organization to do so. Organizers in CU-Prime are currently working on a range of fronts, within the department and nationally, to take action aligned with these values. At the moment, however, we wish to amplify the voices of two Black women who are organizing at CU Boulder to demand a response on the murder of George Floyd. They are circulating a petition here, which we urge you to read and consider signing. In solidarity, CU-Prime organizers PS: This message borrows language from a message from the Access Network Core Organizers, with Karmela Padavić-Callaghan and Fidel Amezcua. CU-Prime thanks those folks for their work and their words. |
