Creed member Cody Meuli lives it by helping out with a campus beautification project.

CU Students:

• Work with fellow students, faculty, and the community in efforts to enhance the value of degrees from CU-Boulder
• Are honest with their friends, roommates, classmates, faculty, landlords, community members and most importantly, themselves
• Take responsibility for their actions, good and bad
• Are tolerant of and learn about people and ideas that are outside their own “comfort zones”
• Take action when the well being of others is in jeopardy
• Actively involve themselves in the CU community
• Strive to make new discoveries, scientifically, academically and personally
• Conduct themselves in society in a manner consistent with the ideals of the Creed

How We'll All Benefit

Establishment and acceptance of the Colorado Creed should offer:

• A safer, richer experience in the CU community
• A more valuable degree that can enhance a job search
• A better understanding of different students, cultures and community members
• A rewarding sense of belonging on campus and in the community
• Everyday pride in CU’s heritage for students, faculty, staff, alumni, businesses and members of the Boulder community

Building Awareness in the CU Community

A number of awareness-building messages are placed on campus and in the community. They include the Creed text itself, as well as the seven guiding principles.

• Brass building plaques at locations such as the Library, UMC, the Events Center and Folsom Field
• Embossed flagstone sidewalk slabs in key traffic areas
• Campus promotional literature such as admissions applications, course catalogs, and email correspondence
• Retail display stickers
• Framed Creed text in residence hall common areas
• Campus architectural features, as funding allows
