CSU ranks second in nation as ‘best for vets’

By Tony Phifer Colorado State University’s commitment to creating the best possible educational environment for veterans has been rewarded with the school’s highest-ever placement in the Military Times Best For Vets Ranking.

CSU is named second in the nation in the annual rankings, moving up three spots from its previous high of No. 5 in 2019. The ranking is affirmation of the impact of the university’s efforts to make all United States military veterans feel welcome and help them reach their educational goals.

“Our commitment to our student veterans is deep and abiding, and driven by our whole community’s respect and admiration for what these individuals have done for our country and what they bring to our campus,” said President Joyce McConnell, herself the child of two U.S. military veterans. “I am so proud to see the great work we do to serve and support our student veterans recognized nationally.”

Military Times bases its rankings on responses to a 150-question survey sent to all two- and four-year schools and on feedback from student veterans. Institutions are evaluated in five categories: university culture, student support, academic policies, academic outcomes/quality, and cost and financial aid. University culture and student support carry the greatest weight in evaluations.

Those factors fit perfectly into CSU’s philosophy when it comes to veterans, said Marc Barker, CSU’s director of the Adult Learner & Veteran Services office.

“For most of these students it’s all about finding an institution that’s going to value their individual experiences while bringing them into a welcoming community,” he said.

“It’s not an accident that we’ve been a top 10 school the past three years. We’re very intentional about creating a value-based model for the students.”

Backbone of CSU: Get to know CSUPD

By Makenna Green

When I was a freshman at CSU, I had an allergic reaction to an anti iotic that caused me to have to e rushed to the hospital at a.m. efore the E T’s ever arrived, a CSUPD o cer was already on the scene ma ing sure that am ulance could get in and ensuring that I wasn’t alone while waiting for it to arrive. Since then, I have only had positive interactions with the on campus o cers and truly elieve that we are fortunate to have a great department here at CSU. I recently had the opportunity to sit down and tal with Chief Scott arris a out the department and their involvement on campus. Chief arris has een with CSUPD since August 200 and was made chief in August of 201 . efore coming to CSU, arris wor ed as an o cer and retired as a commander in Al uquerque, ew e ico. e e plained the iggest di erence he o served etween the two jo s, is the role community plays in what he does. They wor hand in hand with the various departments and play a crucial role with Canvas Stadium and game day events. The partnership they have with the athletic department and other local sheri ’s departments is what ma es those days a success. Which was o vious as earlier this year whenCSU’s stadium was nationally recognized for excellence in safety at Canvas Stadium.

The department wor s hard to ensure safety at all events. ust this last month they put in countless hours to ensure the safety of everyone and the surrounding neigh orhoods that were near the Turning Point USA event. We are grateful to our sta , CSU police and partner agency police o cers from Fort Collins, Windsor and Larimer County for ensuring a safe environment, arris stated. We also are grateful to those event attendees and protestors who respected the University’s policies on free speech and peaceful assem ly. arris e plained that the university as whole really ma es his jo easy, I’ve never een somewhere with this level of energy. Stating that the students and faculty have a great passion for what they’re doing here. e e perienced it rsthand when he taught a class on campus in sociology and was a le to interact with groups of students in a way that is not typical of a police department.

Wor ing with the talented people in the department is my favorite part of this jo , he e plained. There are o cers in his department, who all view themselves

as a resource for sta and students on campus and ma e themselves availa le to assist in any way possi le. uilding relationships with students and sta on campus is a ey part of the department’s role, and something he very much enjoys. e and his o cers truly strive to eep campus safe for all and in that way, help ensure the success of the students.

They strive to provide a reassuring presence and familiar face on campus. It is comforting to now that here at CSU, we are in good hands.

Karen Estlund named new Dean of Libraries

By Joe Giordano aren Estlund got her rst taste of what would ecome a lifelong passion as an undergraduate student at Reed College in Portland, Oregon.

I was wor ing as a wor study student when the internet ecame a thing, Estlund said. We were trying to gure out how we were going to merge old systems with the new and increase the accessi ility of information. That lin etween technology and information access is what got me interested in li raries.

That initial jo launched her on a trajectory that too her to li raries at the University of Utah, the University of Oregon, Penn State University and now Colorado State University, where she was recently named dean of li raries.

Estlund, who starts on Dec. 1, is currently the associate dean for technology and digital strategies for Penn State Li raries. Dawn Paschal, associate dean for research, digital li rary and li rary services, has een named interim Dean of CSU Li raries until Estlund’s start date.

At Penn State, Estlund colla orated with faculty across the university to help create the Center for Immersive Experiences, which uses augmented and virtual reality and other technologies to innovate research, teaching and learning. In the spirit of eing at a land grant institution, she added that she also wor ed with the Penn State University Faculty Senate to pass a statement encouraging faculty to ma e research openly accessi le whenever possi le.

“Karen impressed all who interacted with her during the search process with her readth of nowledge of li raries, her e perience with digital technology, and her vision for ta ing the li rary forward into the 21st century, said CSU Provost and E ecutive Vice President Ric iranda.

Ready for new role

Estlund said she found the CSU community extremely welcoming during her interview, adding that she was impressed with how the University focuses on the holistic student experience.

“When I started researching CSU, it was really some of the foundational values of the institution that resonated with me, she said. Concepts such as social justice and wellness and the student as a whole person. The li raries’ role in support of the holistic student is something that attracted me to CSU. When Estlund starts in Decem er, she said she plans to go on listening tours to ecome acquainted with the community and learn a out their needs. She also

wants to start setting a aseline a out strategic planning and uild on CSU Li raries’ support for the teaching, research and service missions of the University. uch of Estlund’s forward thin ing success can e traced ac to her roots.

Prior to joining Penn State, she served as the head of the Digital Scholarship Center at the University of Oregon and directed the Oregon Digital Newspaper Program. She also was interim head of Digital Technologies and technology instruction li rarian at the . Willard arriott Li rary, University of Utah, where she also taught we design as an adjunct professor.

Estlund earned her master of li rary and information science from the University of Washington and currently is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Oregon.

Future of libraries

aving e perienced the impact that the internet and other digital technologies had on li raries, Estlund said the future is e citing.

The challenge of guring out how to ma e digital information more accessi le as well as its preservation are just two questions that Estlund has explored at length in journal articles and academic presentations.

In her professional career, she has given dozens of presentations on topics ranging from open source repositories to annotations as well as digital scholarship.

As for her soon to e new home at organ Li rary, Estlund said its central campus location ma es it an ideal place for research, colla oration and much more.

I loo forward to wor ing with the CSU community to gure out how to ring people in who are not already using li rary services, Estlund said. It’s very well used now. ut who’s not using the li rary, and how can we e tend li rary services and e pertise to e meaningful and availa le to them

Eva Schloss keynotes Holocaust Awareness Week

By Kate Jeracki The Colorado State University and Fort Collins community will have an e traordinary opportunity to hear from a olocaust survivor what life was li e under the azis when Eva Schloss, stepsister and childhood friend of Anne Fran , spea s on ov. 1 , at p.m., in the Lory Student Center allroom.

The event, part of CSU’s annual olocaust Awareness Wee , is free and open to the pu lic, ut tic ets are required, availa le online at csuti .com. A tic et does not guarantee a seat doors open at 5: 0 p.m.

We are incredi ly fortunate to have rs. Schloss spea on our campus this year, said Ra i erachmiel Goreli , CSU philosophy instructor an faculty adviser to Students for olocaust Awareness Wee . Traditionally, we hold the Awareness Wee in Fe ruary, ut when we were a le to get on rs. Schloss’s touring schedule, we rescheduled everything.

Schloss, now 90 years old and living in London, is the author of three oo s and the su ject of the play, And Then They Came for e. She is a trustee of the Anne Fran Educational Trust, and since 19 5 has dedicated herself to olocaust education and glo al peace. She has recounted her wartime e periences in more than 1,000 spea ing engagements around the world.

In 1999, Schloss signed the Anne Fran Peace Declaration, along with United ations Secretary General ofi Annan and the niece of Raul Wallen erg, a legendary figure who rescued thousands of Jews in Budapest.

wartime experiences Schloss was orn Eva Geiringer in Vienna to a ewish family in 1929.

Shortly after the anne ation of Austria y Germany in 19 , her family emigrated to the etherlands, where they lived in the same apartment loc in Amsterdam as Anne Fran . In 1942, oth families went into hiding to avoid the azis, ut in ay 1944, Eva’s family was captured after eing etrayed y a dou le agent in the Dutch underground, and transported to the Auschwitz ir enau concentration camps. er father and rother did not survive, ut she and her mother were freed in 1945 y Soviet troops.

They returned to Amsterdam, where Eva and her mother renewed their friendship with tto Fran , who had lost his wife and children in the camps. In 195 , Eva’s mother married tto Fran . After his death in 19 0, Eva too up his wor of eeping the memory of his daughter, Anne, and her diary alive.

Eva Schloss’s appearance is presented y Students for olocaust Awareness Wee at CSU, and co sponsored y ASCSU, Cha ad ewish Student rganization, illel, CSU Residence all Association, AEPi, SAEPi, the Office of International Programs, and Lory Student Center. olocaust Awareness Wee is put on y a group of dedicated students who see the acts of hate occurring at CSU and want to do something a out it, said Denise egrete, president of Students for olocaust Awareness Wee . We elieve ignorance is one of the main sources of hate, so education is how Students For olocaust Awareness resists acts of hate.

I thin a lot of students do not understand how incredi ly painful it is for a survivor to share their story with so many people, she continued. I hope that y presenting this opportunity to hear firsthand from a survivor it will allow a space for learning, understanding, and self reflection. We all need understand what hate is, what it can do, and join together to defeat it.

other events olocaust Awareness Wee will egin on Friday, ov. 15, with the planting of the Field of Flags on the Lory Student Center. Each flag represents 5,000 people murdered during the olocaust, with different colors representing different groups.

The flags will remain on display the entire wee .

A Litany of artrys will e read each day, 10 a.m. 2 p.m. onday Thursday on the Plaza or in the Flea ar et if the weather is ad , with volunteers reading the names of those who died during the olocaust.

Book Report: Professor co-authors Just Transitions

By Makenna Green Just Transitions: Social Justice in the Shift to a Low-Carbon World is a colla oration etween Edouard orena, Dunja Krause, and CSU’s own Dimitris Stevis, a professor in the Department of Political Science.

The oo uilds on the ust Transition Research Colla orative, a collective project whose am ition was to ll in a gap in academic and policy literature. The oo is a collection of essays from academics and activists all over the glo e, the rst entirely devoted to Just Transitions.

What are Just Transitions? Stevis explained that historically the term is related to ensuring that environmental policies and fair for the wor ers and communities a ected. Its primary focus now is to enact equita le policy when it comes to climate change and how it a ects wor ers. The ust Transition concept has the potential of ringing people together, in particular, climate, justice, activists and la or, e plained orena, one of the colla orators.

A core value of the Just Transition concept is that it stimulates discussions on the social dimensions of the low car on transition. In other words, it puts social justice on the climate agenda.The term was actually coined y the il, Chemical and Atomic Wor ers, a union ased in Denver, during the early 1990s. The main focus in Colorado are towns directly a ected y coal mining and coal energy, putting the state and the city of Longmont at the forefront of Just Transition policies in the U.S.and the world.

Quick turnaround

It was a great opportunity with a quic turnaround, Stevis e plained. They egan in the summer of 201 and the oo will e released this month in time for orena to ta e it to the Santiago Climate Conference in Decem er.

Completing it in just over a year meant a lot of wor went into putting this together. I would not recommend it, he chuc led.

Stevis has spent many years researching topics on la or and the environment and ust Transitions and uses what he has done on this project in his classes, such as Political Science 462: Glo alization, Sustaina ility, and ustice. The students are doing research on projects that examine Just Transitions cases around the world and in Colorado to nd out how they a ect wor ers and communities.

One of the parts he enjoyed the most was the colla oration with contri utors who came from across the glo e. It was interesting nding out what was happening in other parts of the world, he said.

Stevis enjoyed wor ing on the project immensely and will continue conducting research in this eld. is future pu lications include a mini oo on ust Transitions and colla oration on an edited hand oo on environmental la or studies with particular attention to the topic of Just Transitions.

Just Transitions will e pu lished y Pluto Press on ov. 20 and will e availa le in the CSU oo store.

College of Engineering carries on that mission in the 21st century, its legacy expanding from weather and agricultural innovations into ground rea ing research on satellites, ro otics and lasers, and machines that can learn on their own.

The college has graduated more than 20,000 students since the 1 0s and now oasts annual research expenditures of $80 million and seven departments – Atmospheric Science, Chemical and Biological Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, echanical Engineering, the multidisciplinary School of Biomedical Engineering, and Systems Engineering.

In 2016, civil engineering alumnus Walter Scott, Jr. raised the college’s pro le with a transformational 5 million gift for scholarships, uildings, programs and faculty.

A lot has changed in 150 years. The land grant mission of teaching, research and outreach – as well as monitoring the weather – remains the same.

We’re uilding on this legacy and success, and we have a continuing role to play supporting society, said Dean Dave cLean.

Today, alumni of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering run their own water agencies throughout the world in places li e Taiwan, Egypt, Pa istan, epal, Indonesia, razil and South Korea, and across Colorado.

Early years

Early presidents of Colorado’s land grant institution elieved mechanical engineering should serve Colorado agriculture, even as faculty pioneers pushed to eep up with the 20th century technical revolution.

President Charles Ingersoll arrived in the fall of 1 from Purdue, which was growing its engineering program. e created the Department of echanics and Drawing and a all of echanical Arts where wood and iron wor ing were taught.

Colorado Agricultural College rolled out its rst mechanical engineering courses on such things as steam engine structure and transmission of power in 1 . Today’s CSU engineering students are still wor ing on electric generators and gas tur ines, ut the technology is eing used in ways those rst faculty mem ers never could have imagined.

SLiCE celebrates CSU’s history with Service Challenge SLiCE is encouraging the CSU community to take part in the Rams 150 Service Challenge.

As Colorado State University celebrates its sesquicentennial, SLiCE – Student Leadership, Involvement, & Community Engagement – has partnered with the University to launch a large-scale, yearlong service initiative to commemorate the historic milestone.

The Rams 150 Challenge encourages the CSU community to compile 150,000 volunteer hours as well as 150 distinct service programs/volunteering opportunities within the sesquicentennial year, from August 2019 to June 2020.

CSU LORE QUIZ

How much do you truly know about CSU’s lesser-known lore?

Answer a few questions to see how you rank as a Ram Fan.

“We have a strong culture of involvement here at CSU,” SLiCE Director Pamela Norris said. “Celebrating CSU’s 150th birthday by launching the Rams 150 Service Challenge is a fantastic way to bring our community together and showcase the positive impact Rams are making.”

Service can include departmental or student organization projects as well as campus-wide efforts, such as School is Cool, Fall Clean Up, and Ram Ride. Additionally, volunteer work with nonprofits and other community entities will be accepted.

SLiCE also will provide a variety of volunteer opportunities, including C.A.N.S. Around the Oval, Mobile Food Pantries, CSUnity, and Project Homeless Connect.

Many volunteering opportunities can be found on SLiCE’s new Service Happenings site.

SLiCE provides an important connection between students and their surrounding communities by connecting student organizations, student leaders, and student volunteers, and making the campus a better community and a more involved place. To learn more, visit slice.colostate.edu.

RAMS 150 SERVICE CHALLENGE

DATE RANGE: August 2019 to June 2020 LOG HOURS: service150.colostate.edu QUESTIONS: Sarah Stephens, sarah.stephens@colostate.edu

● 1. TRUE. In 1874, Colorado Central Railroad paid CSU what is about $2,000 today so the train tracks could have the right-of-way. ● 2. FALSE. Although it would be funnier if it were true, this bit of lore seems to stem from a high-profile statue by Moby Arena being “strategically” placed. A local radio host even investigated it in 2018, but ultimately found it inconclusive. ● 3. FALSE. In 1919, the bell was stolen by students and buried in a farmer’s field, then moved to a campus fraternity house, across state lines and back again, then ultimately dropped off in 2016 on the Alumni Association executive director’s driveway.

GOALS: 150,000 volunteer hours and 150 distinct service programs/volunteering opportunities

Tips for healthy eating to help manage stress

By Savannah Hobbs Stress It can feel li e a constant companion. While we all may e familiar with the feelings of stress, the e ect on our eating and health can e a mystery.

But what is stress? It is any physical, mental, or emotional strain, and it can have serious consequences when felt over long periods of time. It can impact what we eat through cravings, overeating or undereating. It can impact our motivation to coo or e physically active, an can even a ect our immune response leading to colds or illnesses.

So, what can we do It’s easy to say: ust e less stressed ut if stress is here to stay at least for a little while , we need options and tric s for managing it and staying healthy.

Tip 1: Listen to your body

Stress can e snea y. In today’s world,, ecause we move so quic ly from jo to soccer practice to school and ac again, it can e di cult to recognize when stress is straining our odies. It is possi le to not even recognize feelings of stress until the negative health e ects have already started to set in. y listening to our odies and recognizing when we are stressed, we can com at the health consequences of too much stress early on.

Ask yourself: How does my body tell me that I am stressed?

Tip 2: Don’t forget self-care

include tea, lue erries, eetroot, eans, tomatoes, ale and dar chocolate. mega Fatty Acids: These can help ght against in ammation in the ody, which is a stress response. Some e amples include nuts, a and chia seeds, soy products and sh. . Vitamins: Certain foods are high in nutrients li e vitamins C, 6, and E that help olster our immune system to o er e tra protection during stressful times.

Some e amples include citrus fruits, dar leafy greens, ell peppers and garlic.

2.

Ta ing care of ourselves when life seems all consuming can feel li e a low priority. When things get hectic, it is common to sacri ce sleep, mealtime or e ercise to ma e up some e tra time. These sacri ces can throw our odies into survival mode. This can induce the ght or ight response, ma ing it more di cult to sleep, avoid illness, or even rela when things calm down. It is important to ma e sure to eat regularly throughout the day and allow our ody the rest it needs.

Ask yourself: What are some healthy ways that I might manage stress?

Tip 4: Watch out for stress-inducing foods

Tip 3: Eat stress-busting foods

Certain times in life can feel more stressful than others. The more we listen to our odies and ta e care of ourselves, the lower the impact of stress on our health.

Certain types of foods that are rich in antio idants, omega fatty acids, or certain vitamins and nutrients can help us avoid some health consequences of stress. Eating well can eep us on the right trac , even when life gets hectic.

While there may not e a miracle cure for stress, there are foods that oth fuel and nourish our odies, eeping our health on the right trac .

1. Antioxidants: These can help stop or delay damage to cells. Some examples

Certain foods can put strain on our odies, or can e acer ate the stress response.

Ca eine, for e ample, can a ect sleep and cause dehydration. Alcohol can also dehydrate and acts as a depressant. Foods high in sugar and calories can leave us feeling loated, sluggish and tired.

Ask yourself: What kinds of foods am I drawn to when I feel stressed?

Follow these tips to help manage stress

The advancement of mechanical engineering at the college would force a name change: In 19 5 CAC ecame the Colorado State College of Agriculture and echanical Arts, etter nown as Colorado A& . Electrical engineering would get its rst long term department head in 1921 with enry G. ordan, who served for three decades. y the 19 0s, under the leadership of ud arper, Agricultural Engineering expanded to Agricultural and Chemical Engineering, evolving into today’s Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering.

Firsts

The college of engineering contri uted many CSU rsts over the years.

Arthur L. Davis earned the rst engineering degree in 1 9. Grafton St. Clair orman, the rst African American student and graduate from Colorado Agricultural College, earned a degree in mechanical engineering.

Engineering also produced more than its fair share of college presidents, including Charles A. Lory, who was hired to lead the electrical engineering department in 1905 efore serving as president from 1909 to 1940.

Ray Cham erlain, who would eventually ecome the university’s ninth president, was the rst person to receive a doctoral degree of any ind at CSU. Cham erlain was involved in hiring a new faculty mem er, er ert Riehl, who helped create the Department of Atmospheric Science with his former student William Gray. Gray in turn would ecome the world’s leading hurricane forecaster, and the department would go on to ecome one of the top atmospheric science programs in the nation.

Complex problems

The pro lems that engineers face have grown comple over the decades. And yet, sometimes all you need is pen and paper, li e oah ewman at the weather station, who often thin s a out his predecessors.

I imagine them doing a daily wal to the weather station to collect their measurements, said ewman. They were typically professors at CSU. It’s also neat to see old photos of the weather station or instruments – some of which are still in use today.

Beyond Partisan Politics event helps bridge divides by overcoming our echo chambers

By Makenna Green

How do we have meaningful conversations with people we disagree with?

The Provost’s Ethics Colloquium and CSU’s Center for Pu lic Deli eration is hosting a panel discussion and community conversation that addresses that very question. eyond Partisan Politics: ridging Divides y vercoming ur Echo Cham ers will e held from 4: 0 6: 0 p.m. on Friday, ov. , in the Lory Student Center Theatre. Each of the three panelists will ta e a di erent perspective and help facilitate the discussions.

The event is free and open to the pu lic, ut registration has reached capacity. The panel discussion will e livestreamed nd the lin at the Ethics Colloquium we site: ethics.colostate.edu.

Gwen Gorzels y, director of The Institute for Teaching and Learning, explained that Beyond Partisan Politics is designed to help attendees deepen s ills for engaging in meaningful, mutually respectful conversations with people who hold di erent views.

“These conversations involve identifying shared values and negotiating our di erences to lay a foundation for understanding ey issues, she said.

“From this foundation, we can incorporate a wide range of perspectives to construct etter solutions to society’s challenges and achieve greater economic, educational, political, legal, and cultural growth.

Creating trust

The spea ers include oan lades, founder of ove n.org ohn Ga le, Silicon Valley entrepreneur and founder of AllSides; and Pedro Silva of the First Congregational First Boulder, UCC. Their goal is to create trust and help people realize that aggression is not the only way to discuss these topics. It’s not a out everyone agreeing, it’s a out everyone understanding, explained Blades.

She already has a lot of experience teaching how to achieve a peaceful discussion, through TED tal s and her we site called Living Room Conversations, where aid is provided in having some of these hard discussions.

A ig push for her wanting to participate in this discussion is that in this political climate, opinions are pulling relationships with friends and family apart. That is why one of her main themes in all these discussions is relationships efore opinions, explaining that especially with the upcoming holidays, it is important to eep that sentiment in mind whenever having a conversation.

Silva also expressed the importance of not demonizing each other during these interactions. e e plained that fear often stands in the way of conversations and understanding. ut of a sense of survival, we ma e enemies of those we perceive as putting our well eing at ris , Silva said. It is easy to do ut can e more damaging than anything else.

Silva hopes people from all wal s of life to come and e a part of the e perience, which will include an opportunity for attendees to participate in their own roundta le discussion, facilitated y mem ers of the Center for Pu lic Deli eration.

“I feel a sense of compassion for those who want to connect with others who they disagree with on the surface, he added. Silva really hopes that the event will open up the oor to healthy discussion y creating an environment of learning and understanding.

More information about the event is at the Provost’s Ethics Colloquium’s website, ethics.colostate.edu.

CSU researchers tackling breast cancer

By Laura Studley As of anuary 2019, there were more than .1 million women with a history of reast cancer living in the United States. This includes women who are currently eing treated and women who have already nished treatment.

In 201 , an estimated , 40 women in Colorado will e diagnosed with new, invasive reast cancer, according to the Susan G. Komen Colorado. That is nearly 11 women diagnosed with reast cancer per day. n average, an individual woman has a 1 in chance of developing reast cancer over an 0 year lifespan, said Cherie Worford, sta physician at the women’s and gender care department at Colorado State University ealth etwor .

For women in the U.S., reast cancer death rates second only to lung cancer, and it is the most frequent cause of cancer death in women worldwide, according to Amy Wing, advance oncology nurse practitioner at the UC ealth Cancer Center in Fort Collins.

Research

Dan Regan, assistant professor in the CSU Department of icro iology, Pathology and Immunology who also wor s at the Flint Animal Cancer Center, is colla orating with a team to nd a way to stop reast cancer tumor cells, from rejecting treatment.

In a healthy ody, stroma cells e ist to perform functions li e organ structural support. Cancer cells also have stroma cells serving as a support system. owever, these cells have one function to spread. “[The cells] intrinsically promote cancer progression and metastasis and can promote resistance to anti cancer drugs, Regan said. So, the research is] focused more on those cells and how they’re modulating drug resistance for reast cancer.

The resistance to chemotherapy drugs is caused y intrinsic tumor cell autonomous mechanisms. Imagine a child not wanting to eat vegeta les. They push the spoon away and reject the food. In the same way, cells do not want to accept the chemotherapy, so they pump the treatment ac out. This process is made possi le through active drug e u pumps.

We want to loo at e trinsic factors, what are the cells of your ody that perform all these supporting functions, how are they extrinsically also promoting this drug resistance, Regan said.

Regan is researching lung ro lasts speci cally.

Fi ro lasts are the most common cells of connective tissue in animals.

But why study the lungs when the research is focused around reast cancer The lungs are one of the top three common metastatic sites for reast cancer. nce

the cancer has spread from the reast to the lung, the e ectiveness of treatment drastically lowers.

Research is eing conducted to determine what is it a out the normal cells of the lung that seem to promote the preferential spread and growth to that speci c area, Regan said.

If we gure out some mechanism determining how the cells of your lungs, these ro lasts, are e trinsically promoting drug resistance in reast cancer, said Regan, then may e we can target that and have etter treatments for these patients once they’ve reached this level of spread.

Preventative measures

There are many factors involved in developing cancer, ut it is important to e aware of the ris factors, whether those are things in the control or out of the control of the individual. eing aware of some of these ris factors, said Regan, oth things that you can change yourself ut especially the ones you can’t change, the inherita le conditions, the family history and if you’re aware, may e you’re screening earlier and that leads to earlier detection and typically a etter outcome.

Within people’s control are healthy eating, exercising, using sunscreen, staying away from to acco, among other ha its. Genetics, however, would e outside of the individual’s control. If they are genetically dispositioned to develop cancer, early testing would e the est option so that treatment or

surgery can happen efore the cancer spreads. ammograms are one way to catch cancer early.

These are rays of the reast help identify a normal masses or microcalci cations that could e cancerous.

“Studies show that screening mammography can help reduce the num er of deaths from reast cancer among women ages 40 to 74, especially for those over age 50, Worford said.

According to Wing, the women who are at higher ris for developing reast cancer include women who have had a prior history of reast cancer, familial history, women with a history of chest irradiation etween the ages of 10 and 0 and women with a family mem er with a nown genetic ris factor such as a mutation in a high ris gene li e RCA 1 or 2.

Treatment

Treatment for cancer is often thought of as chemotherapy. owever, Wing e plains that it all depends on the stage and pathology of the disease.

Surgery, radiation therapy, iologic and targeted therapy and endocrine anti hormone therapy are all other modalities used to treat reast cancer, Wing said.

Individuals who are diagnosed with reast cancer should e plore a speci c care plan with a reast cancer specialist to discuss and choose the est possi le management options for their speci c diagnosis.

By Makenna Green

cto er was ational LG T istory onth, which o ered the campus community the opportunity to cele rate and re ect upon les ian, gay, ise ual and transgender history from the Stonewall riots 50 years ago up to present day.

Dora Frias, director of the Pride Resource Center at Colorado State University, sat down with CSU Life to share opportunities for faculty and sta , such as the Safe one Training program and re ect on LG T istory onth.

While there has een progress in recent years, Frias said it is ey to remem er is that not all equality pro lems went away with the passing of gay marriage. There is still inequality, some spurred y recent Supreme Court rulings that have major implications for LGBTQ rights.

Frias encourage people to spea up if they see instances of ias. If you see something, say something, she said. That’s for all identities.

Programs and events

To com at homopho ia, transpho ia and heterose ism at CSU, the Pride Resource Center o ers Safe one training sessions. The curriculum focuses on nowledge, awareness, s ills and action, with participants learning a out appropriate language and ey issues in the LG T community.

The Pride Resource Center also hosts other trainings and wor shops for

departments, classes, student organizations and other CSU a liated programs and groups.

International Pronouns Day also was in cto er and Frias said one of the est things that individuals can do is simply respect and refer to people y their preferred pronouns. By doing that, students and others within those identities can feel safe and respected.

Frias also mentioned that the campus community can participate in Trans Day of Remem rance in ovem er, a national day of recognition which remem ers the lives of trans individuals that have een lost in the past year.

The Pride Resource Center is hosting its Trans Day of Remem rance event in the Lory Student Center’s Grey Roc Room on ov. 20 at 5: 0 p.m.

Pick riesling for your big holiday meal Thanksgiving is coming up quick, so I’m just going to cut to the chase: riesling is what you want with your big holiday dinner, and the riesling you want is Eroica.

I’m not kidding! No hemming and hawing about the different wine pairing strategies one can employ during Turkey Day, no off-the-beaten path suggestions. You got twenty bucks? Great! Get some Eroica.

Let me lay it out for you. The current vintage has 91 points from “Wine Advocate,” and is a collaboration wine between Germany’s Dr. Loosen winery and Washington state’s Chateau Ste. Michelle. Its grapes are harvested at night to maximize freshness and go straight to press, resulting in a bright,

full-flavored, and balanced riesling. This wine has pedigree, it has critical acclaim, and it is just plain tasty.

Pouring a pale straw, Eroica opens with aromas of juicy pear, melon, and citrus fruits. The taste is a quiltwork of flavors working together to be versatile and delicious, but balanced enough so that individual flavors can be detected. For example, you’ll notice notes of apple peel and tangerine, but also sweet honey and chalky minerals.
