5K run/walk promises breath of fresh air

Logo: The Gift of Life and Breath - Run for it - 5th AnniversaryRegistration is open for the fifth annual Gift of Life and Breath 5K Run/Walk, aimed at providing research support and boosting public awareness for early lung cancer detection. Public awareness and support are key factors in attracting much-needed funding.

Money raised at the race has a direct local impact: A research team at the University of Colorado Cancer Center is developing a screening that would reduce the trauma of treatment and dramatically increase survival of lung cancer patients, according to the AMC Cancer Fund.

The race is set for 9 a.m. Saturday, May 21, on the Anschutz Medical Campus. The event is free; a race T-shirt is offered with a $25 donation. Click here to register.

Call for nominations: President's Teaching Scholars

CU President Bruce Benson solicits nominations of University of Colorado faculty for designation of the 2012 President's Teaching Scholars.

The lifetime appointment as a CU President's Teaching Scholar represents the university's highest recognition of excellence in and active commitment to learning and teaching as well as active and substantial contributions to scholarly work in one's discipline or, in the case of a less senior scholar, indications of path-breaking contributions to his or her field. Chancellors, deans, departments and other faculty nominators are encouraged to nominate candidates for this designation and commitment; self-nominations will not be accepted.

All tenured faculty members are eligible to be nominated. Also, Clinical Teaching Track (CTT) faculty members who hold the rank of associate professor or professor are eligible to be nominated, as are tenure-track faculty members in the School of Medicine who hold the rank of associate professor or professor.

The President's Teaching Scholar designation is not an end-of-career-at-CU award, but rather membership in an active society of scholars and teachers involved in outreach to faculty peers. The selection committee will evaluate applications based on past achievements and on furthering the goals of the President's Teaching Scholars Program.

Dossiers will be accepted no later than Nov. 11, 2011. For more details, go to www.colorado.edu/ptsp/documents/PTSP2012Call.pdf
