LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITY: THE CU GOLD PROGRAM
A basic overview of CU GOLD's program is that we are the ONLY free and open leadership program at CU and we pride ourselves on accepting a variety of people from all years and majors (freshman to grad students!) We believe that everyone is a leader and our programs are designed to fine-tune and enhance natural leadership abilities through a series of leadership profiling, personality assessments, and other team-building activities.
In addition, CU GOLD also puts on a Student Leadership Conference every year. This year's Seventh Annual Leadership Conference will be taking place on Saturday, November 8 from 10am-4:30pm at the UMC, room 235.
Our workshops will explore topics in relational leadership, social media and personal branding, building a resume, and how to apply leadership in both your professional and daily life. We will also have a series of breakout sessions in categories such as cross-cultural communication, social justice, conflict resolution, and service/volunteerism.
This conference is relevant to just about everyone and I truly believe the experience every year is invaluable. The speakers alone are candid, experienced, and so knowledgeable. If anyone is interested in attending, registration is now open at the link I've provided below. Lunch will be provided.

FREE MCAT WORKSHOP (PRE-MED STUDENTS)

All students will also receive a 100+ page strategy guide. I've included the link to the event sign ups below. Space is limited our free workshops generally fill up quickly.
MCAT Science and Verbal Strategy (3.5 hours) Thursday Oct 2nd-
https://www.facebook.com/events/1489138664689148/
We are able to achieve better MCAT results through a combination of our innovative interactive classroom sessions which focus on student discussion and our top MCAT instructors, while also providing the best MCAT test prep value in Boulder. We've been able to make MCAT prep affordable for any budget, making structured MCAT prep available for all students. Our courses have also benefited students preparing for the OAT, PCAT and DAT.
We understand that some students are on the fence regarding whether to take the current MCAT or wait for the 2015 MCAT. We'll be discussing some of the changes being made to the new exam, and how students can best prepare for the skills being tested. Also those students that sign up for our Fall MCAT program can attend our Winter 2015 class as well, so that they have the option to prepare for either exam.

Boulder Friends of International Students Hosts Needed!
The University of Colorado Boulder is experiencing an increase in the numbers of international students. The international student population at CU-Boulder is now over 2200 students, with the majority of them from China, India, Saudi Arabia, Korea and Kuwait, although students are from more than 85 countries.
Aside from adjusting to academic life, they also face the challenge of adjusting to life in Boulder and the United States. Because of this increase in numbers of new international student, the Boulder Friends of International Students (BFIS) is seeking new hospitality families. Local families have been participating as hospitality hosts in this very successful program since the 1950's. Many hosts and students have stayed in touch over the years, making this a special opportunity to make new friends from around the world.
BFIS matches families with students of similar interests. Although student do not live with families, they meet them regularly for activities, such as dinners, visits to museums, hiking, or sporting events. Some students and families choose the traditional semester or year-long matching, but others choose to meet for just a dinner. To find out more about the program and to fill out an application to become a host, please see the website (http://www.colorado.edu/oie/clubs-activities/bfis). For questions, please contact Abby Caballero, BFIS Matching Coordinator (bfis@colorado.edu).

• Physical Therapy Volunteer Opportunity
• Looking for a student who would be interested in gaining experience by assisting my relative with physical therapy appointments. Six months ago he suffered a TBI. He will be getting his PT and OT therapies through Mapleton Outpatient rehabilitation. He suffered damage to his right eye and is unable to drive. He has dyskinesia in the right leg but is mobile and able to walk on his own. At this time, therapists have recommended that he be attended at all times.
• We are looking for someone to drive him to his appointments two times a week and possibly shadowing the PT/OT. In addition, if possible we would be interested in having someone then oversee some PT time at home or the gym MWF for an hour or two.
