Mini One-Day University Jan. 8 & Ebola Presentation Feb. 12

Mini One-Day University, Course Round-Up, Registration & Breakfast!

We’ve got a great (and FREE!) day planned for you!
Jan. 8, 10 a.m.-1 p.m.,
at The Academy, 8081 E. Orchard Rd., Greenwood Village
Welcome Desk Area and Altar Counseling Room (Park in the basement or near Doors 4 or 3).

REGISTRATION TRAINING!  Having trouble printing your registration form? We will have printed forms available and will be offering hands-on training on how to print from your own computer.  Feel free to complete your form, make your payment and turn it in to complete the registration process. To make this fair, we will be mixing these forms into the day’s mailed registrations.

COURSE ROUND-UP FOR SPRING 15.  (It is stock-show time after all.) Many of our spring course leaders will be onsite to share details of their classes.  This is a great opportunity for more learning with our amazing course leaders, and to help you (and hopefully the scads of friends you invite) to narrow down which classes to take. We’ll have some breakfast vittles to keep your energy up.

MINI ONE-DAY UNIVERSITY.  This is a fun way to see your friends and get a little taste of what Spring 2015 courses at The Academy look like. And, yes, it’s free. Come to one or all presentations throughout the day.

Ebola: Preparing for a Substantial New Challenge

Thursday, Feb. 12

1-3 p.m.

Back to School Lecture

Is a “new normal” of scary infections upon us?

Join virologist Dr. Eric Poeschla, formerly of the Mayo Clinic and now the Head of the Division of Infectious Diseases at CU’s School of Medicine, and epidemiologist Dr. Michelle Barron, Medical Director of Infection, Control and Prevention, at the University of Colorado Hospital as they discuss Ebola—the disease, the science, the epidemic and the challenges it presents to the health care system. Get the facts on how Ebola causes disease, where it comes from, how epidemics are managed, the value of quarantines, updates on Ebola treatment and prevention, and understand the deep need for supporting research so that in the future we can prevent these outbreaks before they happen!

NO RSVPs needed.

Please join us for the lecture and a snack afterward!

 

Program takes place in the Auditorium, on the 2nd floor,

 at 8081 E. Orchard Rd, Greenwood Village

Park near Door 11 (not in the FIT DTC spots, you could get towed!)
If it’s snowy, park in the basement (entrance on southeast side), and take the elevator to the 2nd floor.
