Community Notes
Living Off-Campus: Everything First Timers Need to Know
Learn the basics of finding the perfect rental in Boulder, Colorado. Gather information about leases, neighborhoods, roommate agreements, dividing utility payments, budgeting and much more.

CUSG survey seeks student input on off-campus lighting
The University of Colorado Student Government (CUSG) is exploring ways to make the areas surrounding campus safer for students. Improving lighting on University Hill may be one step toward that goal. In order to better understand students' concerns about safety on the hill, CUSG is asking students to complete a short survey (5-10 minutes) about their perceptions and opinions of safety on University Hill.
Ghost Dances reading and book signing Feb. 21
The Center of the American West is proud to present Josh Garrett-Davis, author of Ghost Dances: Proving Up on the Great Plains, for a reading and book signing.
A native of South Dakota, the gifted young writer Josh Garrett-Davis takes a singular journey back to his origins on the Midwestern Plains and gives us a striking portrait of a distinctive American place. Politics and prairie, art and religion, all combine into a new picture of the region—one that departs from the long-standing images of the area as either a wasteland or a heroic frontier.
Find your community, become a leader, travel
INVST Community Studies is looking for students who are interested in environmental sustainability, social justice, and leadership development for our Community Leadership Program. Students begin by looking at themselves and their roles as community members, and progress to local, national and international levels of engagement. The program combines practical skills training, meaningful community service and theory in a unique, participatory model. Applications are due Feb. 18.
