Parent Events

The CU Parents Association (CUPA) sponsors a variety of excellent activities and programs that assist parents, students, and the university.

• Family Weekend – Formally known as Parents Weekend, this event, held each fall, is recognized as one of the best of its kind in the country. The two-day event provides a great time to visit with your student and tour the campus and the Boulder community. Plan to attend presentations, meet informally with faculty and staff, enjoy entertainment, and cheer the Buffs on to a Big 12 football victory. Registration brochures are typically sent to parents in late summer.
  
  
• CU is Coming to a City Near You - These events are a wonderful opportunity for parents to hear, first hand, about what’s happening on campus, ask questions, meet other parents from your area, and become involved in the university.
  
  
• Spring Parent Receptions – These receptions are an opportunity for both current and prospective CU parents to gather in an informal setting to share experiences, information, and tips about the CU-Boulder experience.
  
  
• Orientation Dinners – Each summer these enjoyable and relaxing dinners acquaint parents of new students with CUPA and Division of Student Affairs staff. Join us this summer!
