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.

Jennifer Armstrong, MD, received her MD from University of California San Francisco and her MPH from University of California Berkeley and currently sees patients at Children’s Hospital Colorado. Her interest in women’s health stems from her understanding of the intimate dynamics in the maternal-placental-fetal triad that not only impacts short-term health outcomes but life-long health.
Research + Funding
From 2010 to 2014, Dr. Armstrong received funding from the Ludeman Center for two research projects. Titled, “In-Utero Inflammation in Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes as a Biomarker in Perinatal Brain Injury” and “In-Utero Inflammation in Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes as a Biomarker in Perinatal Brain Injury,” they focused on linking patterns and changes of inflammation and blood clotting dynamics found in pregnant women and the placenta as well as the fetus and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes.
As a senior member of the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus research community, she feels deeply connected to the Ludeman Center and how it has supported her career goals. “The incredible faith and mentorship of the center’s supporting faculty is especially important for early-career faculty when perseverance and positivity is sometimes hard. With the community at the center, both with the researchers as well as the community partners, there is belonging and drive to create impact as a team,” she shares.
Transforming Women’s Health
Dr. Armstrong’s current research includes regulatory, compliance and administration while continuing her leadership roles at CU Anschutz Medical Campus.
