Want to learn to maintain your own bicycle? Curious about what is legal or not in terms of biking? Not sure the best route to get to CSU on your bike? Join The Spoke, CSU Police Department and Parking & Transportation Services to learn about this and more. In this introductory class staff from the Spoke will cover basic bicycle maintenance including bike anatomy, lubing your chain, changing a flat, and the elements of an ABC Quick Check. The CSU Police Department staff will discuss bicycle safety, laws & common crashes. Parking and Transportation Services staff will introduce how Parking & Transportation Services can help you plan your commute, reduce your transportation costs, design your route to campus, and will introduce you to additional educational opportunities.

Our goal is for each participant to be able to change a flat tire, and properly lube their chain, while also learning how to safely navigate the CSU campus by bike. In addition they will be able to use the ABC Quick Check guidelines prior to each ride to better ensure a safe ride. Our target audience is any person who rides a bike either intermittently or routinely and wants to be able to sustain themselves when out riding. We are actively seeking out Faculty and Staff who commute by bike to campus or have interest in exploring this transportation model.

In this time of increasing stress, and multiple challenges, faculty and staff are asking about ways to support student wellbeing. You will learn about the Well-Being in Academic Environments Tool Kit. We will spend some time looking at how you can incorporate this into your work with students and in teaching. This web-based resource has easy to implement strategies for fostering well-being, while creating effective learning environments. It is based on a successful initiative from the University of Texas Austin. You will also hear about additional digital resources for students, like an online cognitive behavioral therapy tool, an app that helps mitigate loneliness, and updated features of You @ CSU. We will also provide a brief overview of CSU students' mental health.

Anyone working with students.

CURE stands for Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience. Do you want to learn more about CUREs? Then take part in a 3-part workshop led by the Office for Undergraduate Research & Artistry. At the workshop you will learn what CUREs look like at CSU, meet and talk with people who are doing them, and learn tips from faculty with experience. You will start a plan for what integrating your research into a specific course might look like, including identifying desired outcomes (for both your research and your students). You will have a chance to give feedback on what support or resources would be necessary to help you incorporate authentic research into your courses.

Faculty will leave the session with: an increased knowledge of what makes a course a CURE-course, an increased awareness of CUREs and who teaches them across campus, A development plan for integrating their own research into a course, and a chance to provide feedback on the support and resources needed.
