The school’s administration believed that not enough students were taking language classes. The LAIS department decided to stop the language program and to use the budget to improve current liberal arts classes and create new ones. The most common option now is to take language classes at Red Rocks community college and transfer earned credits to Mines.
Sincerely,

As you probably saw in an email earlier this week, the school is officially moving to Canvas software. This change was decided by a committee that included students and various other perspectives on campus. The schools contract with Blackboard is up at the end of the year and the alternative decided was canvas.
The system has an app and connects to more services than blackboard, such as google drive and others. Overall change is hard but the software seems to be better than blackboard.

This has been an ongoing project over the years. Currently our sophomore class is continuing it. If you have any specific questions about the progress you can email the president or representatives, every officer is listed on our website at http://mines.orgsync.com/org/usg/officers
UPDATE
USG reached out to Brown to initiate this change but found it was not realistic. Apparently a lot of malicious actions were done in Brown when students had access. Even recently doors have been destroyed. Also, citing the lack of cameras in Brown, administration is not willing to accept this suggestion.-USG

UPDATE;
We advise that you contact your teacher directly in an effort to get a timeline for when the exam will be returned. It may also be beneficial to contact the department head as they may have information for you. As far as enforcing the two week rule, it is something we have and will continue to look into.Sincerely,
USGWe will have our At Large to the Faculty bring this up at their next faculty meeting and keep you updated on what they say.

This is a concern that has been brought up with the Golden city council, but this is a Golden city street, and Mines has no direct control.

Hi!
Hopefully everyone noticed that decorating graduation caps was not only allowed, but encouraged! We’re glad enough students wanted to see it happen!
Love,

UPDATE:
Currently CTLM has a dedicated 24 hour computer lab with a lot of computers and software! Any student, no matter what major or year, can use these computers. USG acknowledges that there should be more space on campus for 24 hour dedicated computer labs. We will continue in the future to advocate for new computer labs. For example, the new library renovation project will create new space for more computer labs accessible to all students.Sincerely,
USGUpdate: It is in the short future of capital planning to create two more computer labs. One will be a teaching lab in Chauvenet and the other will be in Brown building. A definite timeline is not yet known. It is still a class project to work on longer access in Brown.

I have friends whose campuses have switched to Canvas (which is what they are switching to) and they LOVE it much more than Blackboard, its a lot easier to use and gives you a lot more information. You might look into it. We are students who should be great at learning programs and Canvas isn't difficult. I would look into it before you get too strong of an opinion against it.
