Volunteer for move-out on the Hill July 31–Aug. 3 Megan Maneval Fri, 07/11/2025 - 10:28

The end of July and early August is a popular time in Boulder for leases to end, resulting in hundreds of students moving out during a short period of time. To reduce the amount of items left behind or unnecessary waste added to landfill, Off-Campus Housing & Neighborhood Relations, the CU Environmental Center, the city of Boulder, and the Boulder Area Rental Housing Association have created a pilot program in the �Թ�� Hill neighborhood.

Volunteers are needed to help set up and take down move-out stations, talk to students to advise them on what stream their items should go (landfill, reuse, hard-to-recycle), as well as walking the neighborhood to engage with students that are moving out to direct them to our move-out stations and locate any trash piles that may be starting to form.

Advisors, faculty and staff at the CU & CC Connection 2025 event

More than 85 advisors, faculty and staff from CU Boulder and community colleges across Colorado gathered for CU & CC Connection 2025, a collaborative event aimed at strengthening pathways for transfer students. Now in its fourth year, the event was co-hosted by Transfer Initiatives in the Office of Undergraduate Education and Transfer Admissions in the Office of Admissions.

Welcoming attendees were CU Boulder leaders Interim Vice Provost and Dean of Undergraduate Education Erika Randall and Vice �Թ�� for Enrollment Management Amy Hutton and Colorado Community College System’s Michael Schulman, associate vice chancellor for student affairs. In their opening remarks they emphasized the value of cross-institutional collaboration to support transfer students and reaffirmed CU Boulder’s commitment to serve as one of Colorado’s top destinations for transfer success.

Throughout the day, participants engaged in academic opportunities sessions showcasing the interdisciplinary areas of art and design, data and technology, leadership and impact, and much more. These sessions offered insights into CU Boulder’s diverse academic and co-curricular programs and were designed to help participants guide students toward programs that best align with their goals and interests.

Additionally, participants contributed ideas on enhancing the transfer student journey—from initial interest through graduation. Discussions focused on sharing best practices, underscoring the crucial roles both community colleges and CU Boulder play in shaping student success.

The primary goals of CU & CC Connection are to build networks and inspire action toward improvements to the Colorado community college transfer student experience. “Events like this remind us that successful transfer experiences don’t happen in isolation,” said Jessica Drelles, a pre-transfer advisor. “They’re the result of shared commitment and coordinated support across institutions.”

CU & CC Connection 2026 is tentatively scheduled for May 20. Contact Miki Brooks at miki.brooks@colorado.edu to participate.

Celebrate and commemorate Juneteenth Megan Maneval Tue, 06/10/2025 - 09:17

CU Boulder will close on Thursday, June 19, in observance of the Juneteenth National Independence Day. Juneteenth marks the historic date when the Union Army arrived in Texas in 1865 to proclaim freedom for Black and African Americans in 1865, approximately two months after the official end of the Civil War and more than two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Emancipation Proclamation.

Observed in Black and African American communities since 1866, the Juneteenth name is a portmanteau of “June” and “nineteenth.” It became an official state holiday in 2023 when Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed a legislative bill into law recognizing the significance of the date in U.S. history. Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021 when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Act into law.
