Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.
Instructure, the company that owns Canvas, has provided an FAQ about the incident, which may not answer all your questions. We will share more information if it becomes available.
As a life-cycle celebrant and the owner of Blue Sky Celebrations, Jean helps develop and deliver personally crafted ceremonies that help people come together in community to share and acknowledge the beauty, joy and memorable experience of personal transitions such as weddings and end-of-life ceremonies. Born in Kansas, raised in Denver, and a graduate from the University of Denver, Jean also lived for a time in northern California and New Mexico before returning to the blue skies of Colorado. Before finding her passion in working with couples and families to create and perform ceremonies, Jean was privileged to be a mediator, facilitator, coach, and teacher. When Jean discovered the Life-Cycle Institute, she became passionate about creating ceremonies as an extension of her life’s work.
