Psychedelic club is meant to empower members with expertise on the subject of psychedelics through community, shared knowledge, and higher learning. Club goals are focused on innovative thinking, reducing stigma surrounding psychedelics by demonstrating how they can be used in fields such as science & spirituality, educating members on harm reduction, and providing tools to guide constructive inner exploration. Our meetings have ranged anywhere from discussions, tie-dying, painting, music seshes, and Psychedelic Jeopardy to visits from influential figures such as the director of the Zendo Project, Kevin Matthews and Matthew Duffy from Decriminalize Denver, psychedelic therapists, MAPS researchers, and much more.

STEM career paths are wrought with secret handshakes and unspoken rules which (rather than selecting for the most motivated, meritorious scientists) too often block first-generation students from research and innovation. Students whose parents or older siblings already navigated the uphill PhD battle are pre-equipped with a map of steps to making conscious, informed decisions about their future STEM career. While advisors and professors are passionate about supporting students, without key background information, first-generation students don't know what to ask.STEM Routes is a student organization, founded and run by traditionally under-represented and first-generation graduate students who faced the same systemic discrimination in our attempts to gain access to research and build our STEM careers. STEM Routes is our effort to serve as the mentors we wish we had.STEM Routes was formed in summer of 2018 by a group of graduate mentors for the SMART (Summer Multicultural Access to Research Training) Program. All of us shared a similar experience as we struggled to navigate our path to graduate school because we didn't know about the unspoken rules of preparing for and applying to graduate programs. In response to the need for better support for first-generation and underrepresented students, we formed STEM Routes to teach undergraduate students about research through educational workshops, community, and mentorship.

In recent years, there has been a strong focus across the world on initial interactions with police and widespread police brutality, but what happens to the arrests or cases that go under the radar? Students Against Unjust Imprisonment aims to educate our community and draw attention to the injustices occurring within our criminal justice system that may have been ignored or overlooked. Through communication, research, and connections, students will work to aid in the advocacy of some of these cases. By maintaining specific focuses across the school year and working to discover the Why? and the Now what?, we hope to evoke a desire for action, change, and awareness across the Boulder community. Often, the first impression of an unjust imprisonment is that it has been caused by a single event; however, by looking into additional factors like poverty or over-policing, we can grow our understanding to why this occurs and work together to start ground-up action. In consistently questioning and researching types of prison systems, re-offense rates, and other aspects of the criminal justice system, we will gain the ability to identify systemic issues and add to our knowledge on the entirety of the criminal justice system. This organization not only provides insight to the community, but it offers a way for students to dissect and interact with a crucial piece of our society.
