A place where students bring other students to grow in our understanding of who God is, who He says we are, and how that impacts our lives. Each week you will hear how God is at work in the lives of other students, music led by our band, and Biblical teaching from one of our Cru staff members. We like to laugh, have a good time, and think deeply about God, our lives, and the world around us. We love seeing new faces, so the door is always open and you’re invited! We also serve a free dinner beforehand at 7pm.* *Subject to change.Hosted by: CruAdditional Information can be found at: https://mlc.uccs.edu/event/10206620

The last day to withdraw from Spring 2025 full semester length Main Campus courses within the myUCCS Portal without instructor or academic dean approval is Friday, April 4th. This deadline applies to courses that meet the entire Spring semester (January 21 to May 17).Withdrawing from less than all courses after April 4th:  Students withdrawing from a portion of their courses after April 4th, must submit an Add/Drop Form to the Office of the Registrar (Main Hall 108) with the signatures of the instructor(s) and academic dean(s) (of the college in which the course(s) is in).   Withdrawing from all courses after April 4:  Students requesting approval to withdraw from all courses after April 4th, must submit a Complete Semester Withdrawal Form through the the Dean of Students Office (Main Hall 201).Both type of requests are only granted to students who have extenuating circumstances, and it is not guaranteed that students will be granted the option to withdraw from a course. If approved, course withdrawals after this date are assigned an official grade of "W".    NOTE: Any course withdrawn after its associated Census Date is non-refundable and is automatically assigned a grade of 'W'.Hosted by: Academic Calendar, Orientation and New Student OutreachAdditional Information can be found at: https://mlc.uccs.edu/event/10142453

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning (DL) offer a powerful approach to advancing the clinical application of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This work presents preliminary results applying AI to Gradient Echo Plural Contrast Imaging (GEPCI), a post-processed multi-echo Gradient Recalled Echo (mGRE) sequence. A series of deep learning networks (AI-GEPCI) were trained to translate GEPCI input images into clinical-quality Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR), Magnetization-Prepared Rapid Acquisition with Gradient Echo (MPRAGE), and R2* maps, along with additional derived contrasts. Radiological and clinical evaluations confirm that the AI-generated images met or exceeded clinical imaging quality standards while also enhancing lower-quality scans affected by acquisition artifacts. These findings highlight the potential of AI-GEPCI to streamline neuroimaging by generating multiple clinically relevant contrasts from a single GEPCI MRI scan.Hosted by: Department of Physics & Energy ScienceAdditional Information can be found at: https://mlc.uccs.edu/event/11166762

With her mind intact and having opted for mechanical breathing, she could live like this indefinitely. But the situation has embittered and alienated her husband Said, and proved too much for many nurses and aides. Her grown son Noah, who lives with Kathryn and Said in their New York City apartment, struggles to balance his academic obligations with those he feels to his mother. The disease has also been a destructive force complicating relations between everyone in her family. Kathryn often falls into despair, but she has been holding on to see her daughter’s wedding day. This project draws on 930 hours of footage—all filmed without any crew present from a fixed camera from Kathryn’s point of view. The result is a profoundly intimate, layered and wryly funny portrait of a family at its breaking point.  DIRECTORS’ STATEMENT  This film is structured as a first-person account of Kathryn’s final stage before death. It is, in its totality, her plea for the wider world to understand what she went through, why she persisted, and finally why she gave up. So, rather than turning and looking at Kathryn, or asking others to sit down and tell us about her, we aim to bring the viewer as close as possible to actually being Kathryn and experiencing what she experienced.  Through Kathryn’s own narration, we enter the inner world of a severely disabled woman and mother facing her own mortality. We wanted to break from earlier documentaries on these themes by telling a true story, without contrived heroics, of the brutality of the daily challenges—both practical and emotional—of in-home care for a disabled and terminally ill person.  We hope viewers’ assumptions and feelings will shift as the film progresses from pinning all the blame on any one family member to appreciating that each, in their way, is responsible for their collective pain and each, in turn, is to be forgiven for their shortcomings. Kathryn’s story should also have particular resonance at this unique global moment where we all have faced isolation and the fear of a lonely death.  Senem Tüzen & Adam Isenberg, Noah Amir Arjomand Noah Amir Arjomand  Noah Amir Arjomand is an Iranian-American sociologist  with degrees from Columbia and Princeton universities.
