  • Thanks to Natalie Stitch (Registrar’s Office), for all her work in navigating Veteran Affairs compliance. Natalie saw us through a successful recent audit, so successful the reviewer cancelled their second day as they didn’t need to see anymore!

 

  • Related to the Registrar’s Office, I wanted to publicly acknowledge Cathy Gorrell. Cathy has announced her intent to retire in the spring, and while we will plan to celebrate appropriately at that time – I wanted to let everyone know.

 

  • Congratulations to Andrea Rexilius (Regis College) for her work on the anthology We Can See into Another Place: Mile-High Writers on Social Justice. This is a collection of writings from graduates of our MFA program and was recently highlighted HERE.

 

  • Rick Blumenthal (Anderson) recently had his paper "Moving What's in the CS Curriculum Forward: A Proposition to Address Ten Wicked Curricular Issues" accepted for publication in The 56th ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education. ACM made special note in their acceptance about Regis’ University agreement with ACM under which all affiliated corresponding authors can make their articles Open Access at no additional cost. This agreement enables authors to retain their copyright and have a Creative Commons license assigned to their article, providing for worldwide open readership as well as computational and other uses. This membership, as well as the broader commitment to open access that informs it, is thanks to the wonderful work of Dawn Combe (Dayton Memorial Library) and other DML colleagues.
