Consider the fall semester in the Southern Hemisphere. Winter in countries like Chile means fresh powder, epic slopes, and endless adventure. Spend July through September skiing in the Andes during their peak season, then head back to Colorado just in time for another round of fresh snow. Who鈥檚 in for a double ski season?</span></p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-text" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><h2>Boulder Housing</h2><p><span>If the Boulder housing market gives you an annual headache, studying abroad in the fall might be a great solution. Not only do you kick off your adventure earlier, but finding a sublease for your Boulder housing is way easier when you leave in the fall. Secure your spot abroad and stress less about your lease! You can even forgo signing a lease at all - and sublease from one of the hundreds of students that choose to go abroad in the spring. This move could save you thousands in rent. Less students choose to study abroad in the fall meaning there are better chances for scholarships, and low competition for competitive programs, all of which means your odds of paying less and going farther are better.</span></p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-text" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><h2>Extend Your Adventure</h2><p><span>Choosing to study abroad during the fall semester also gives you the opportunity to extend your adventure to the spring. If you find you love living in your host country, you could choose to return to your original destination or pick a completely different one - even on a different continent. Imagine spending fall in sunny Australia, then meeting up with your friends in Europe in the spring! Spending an entire academic year abroad could set you apart on job and grad school applications, and it鈥檚 a memory from college you鈥檒l never forget.</span></p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-text" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><h2>Autumn Festivals</h2><p><span>There are plenty of autumn festivals focusing on art, music, and culture worldwide. Studying abroad in the fall gives you the opportunity to experience these incredible holidays in person, things few students ever get to see. Consider going to Oktoberfest in Germany, experiencing the vibrant D铆a de Muertos (Day of the Dead) in Mexico, or traditional Japanese harvest festivals surrounded by the gorgeous fall foliage.</span></p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-text" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><h2>Make Your Plan</h2><p><span>Studying abroad at any point in your college career can be a transformative and exciting experience.

Joe Neguse of Colorado<br>In the House of Representatives<br>Wednesday, December 18, 2024</div><div class="ucb-box-content"><p>Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and celebrate Dr. Phil DiStefano, a man whose 15 years of leadership as Chancellor of the 麻豆免费版下载 and a half-century of dedication to 麻豆免费版下载Boulder have left an indelible mark on the university. I鈥檝e had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the profound impact that Chancellor DiStefano鈥檚 leadership has had on 麻豆免费版下载and across our state. Phil鈥檚 journey is nothing short of inspiring. A first-generation college student from Steubenville, Ohio, his academic and professional path has taken him from Ohio to the heights of leadership at one of our Nation鈥檚 top universities. His journey is a testament to the transformative power of education and the potential that lies within each of us. While he may have started in Ohio, Colorado is his home today, and our state has greatly benefited from his presence. Throughout his tenure as Chancellor, Dr. DiStefano was committed to making 麻豆免费版下载Boulder a nationally recognized research institution that shapes tomorrow鈥檚 leaders and positively impacts society. Under his leadership, 麻豆免费版下载Boulder has awarded nearly 117,000 degrees and raised over $2 billion in philanthropic gifts. Through his work in technology transfer, Chancellor DiStefano has paved the way for substantial growth in the university, including the creation of 40 startup ventures and the signing of 223 license and option agreements. The university鈥檚 research and innovation efforts have had a significant influence not only on the local economy but also on the entire Nation. Over the past five years, 麻豆免费版下载Boulder鈥檚 commercialization activities alone generated a domestic economic impact of $1.9 billion, supporting an estimated 11,545 jobs and contributing $1.2 billion to the state鈥檚 economy, and has ensured that 麻豆免费版下载Boulder remains at the forefront of research.</p><p>As Dr. DiStefano transitions to his new role as Senior Executive Director of the 麻豆免费版下载Boulder Center for Leadership, we know that his legacy of student success, faculty excellence, and campus sustainability has elevated 麻豆免费版下载Boulder to the top tier of academic institutions, making it a beacon of excellence across the country. I want to personally express my gratitude to Chancellor DiStefano for his service to our community, Colorado, and our Nation. His contributions will be felt for decades to come. I thank Phil for his leadership and dedication to 麻豆免费版下载Boulder. It has been an honor to work alongside him.</p></div></div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div>Noting Chancellor Emeritus Philip DiStefano鈥檚 longstanding tenure and impact on campus, Congressman Joe Neguse recently made remarks for the congressional record.</div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Related Articles</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle large_image_style"> <img loading="lazy" src="/today/sites/default/files/styles/large_image_style/public/2025-02/2018_Diversity_Summit47GA.jpg?itok=J1Oeksrn" width="1500" height="1125" alt="Phililp DiStefano sits at a table with others, smiling, to-go cup in hand."> </div> </div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Thu, 20 Feb 2025 22:12:07 +0000 Elizabeth Lock 54190 at /today New postpartum support group for graduate students /today/2025/02/19/new-postpartum-support-group-graduate-students <span>New postpartum support group for graduate students</span> <span><span>Greg B Swenson</span></span> <span><time datetime="2025-02-19T10:19:46-07:00" title="Wednesday, February 19, 2025 - 10:19">Wed, 02/19/2025 - 10:19</time> </span> <div> <div class="imageMediaStyle focal_image_wide"> <img loading="lazy" src="/today/sites/default/files/styles/focal_image_wide/public/2025-02/AdobeStock_227528364.jpeg?h=f2fcf546&amp;itok=EgnJvowj" width="1200" height="800" alt="Baby being held."> </div> </div> <div role="contentinfo" class="container ucb-article-categories" itemprop="about"> <span class="visually-hidden">Categories:</span> <div class="ucb-article-category-icon" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa-solid fa-folder-open"></i> </div> <a href="/today/taxonomy/term/20"> Campus Community </a> <a href="/today/taxonomy/term/924"> Healthy Buffs </a> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-text" itemprop="articleBody"> <div><p><span>Counseling and Psychiatric Services has designed a new postpartum support group to help graduate student parents navigate postpartum during the first three years after birth.</span></p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div>Counseling and Psychiatric Services has designed a new postpartum support group to help graduate student parents navigate postpartum during the first three years after birth.</div> <script> window.location.href = `/health/2025/02/11/new-postpartum-support-group-graduate-students`;
