Alumni Stories
Laura Bruns (EnvSt’99, MA’05) knows that Buff pride doesn’t end at graduation. Through her volunteer work, Laura helps keep CU Boulder’s alumni community strong while giving back to a place that means so much to her. Whether welcoming new graduates or supporting alumni initiatives, she believes even small acts of service can make a long-lasting, meaningful impact.
Freya Nagy (Psych, Neuro’27) of Lakewood, Colorado always had her sights set on attending CU Boulder. What she found was a community that quickly felt like home.
As a CU Boulder alum, your connection to the university doesn’t have to end at graduation. Whether you’re five years into your career, launching a business or considering your next pivot, the Forever Buffs Network is your space to stay engaged, give back and keep growing alongside fellow Buffs.
March is Buffs All In when CU Boulder celebrates the impact we can achieve through collective giving. We asked different philanthropic student leaders to share their stories of impact and the ways they are building CU Boulder’s culture of giving — one action, one donation and one event at a time.
As you prepare for 2026 commencement and embark on your next chapter, update your contact information to stay informed about events, programs and benefits for your Forever Buffs journey.
Whether you’re returning for Alumni Weekend, call Boulder home or planning a weekend getaway, there’s no better place to revisit this spring than the University of Colorado Boulder. From campus favorites to new discoveries, here are a few ways to reminisce and reconnect.
Travel doesn’t have to just be about seeing new places — it’s about connecting with people, exploring passions and creating memories that last a lifetime. Few experiences capture that spirit better than Roaming Buffs trips, where CU alumni gather to explore the world together.
Join us April 10–13 to reconnect with the people and places that make CU feel like home.
Every Buff has had that class — the one that blew their mind, changed their path or simply made school more fun. We asked: What CU class do you still think about today? And you delivered! Across the years and life experiences, Buffs still find themselves looking back on their CU Boulder classes.
From Folsom Field to Lumen Field, Forever Buff Cassidy Davis (StComm’23) has built a career from historic football seasons and meaningful mentorship relationships.
