CESR Explores: Join the Journey to Pave the Way

Congratulations to Lena Kim for submitting the winning name for our new rewards program!

What is it?

Students who participate in CESR events and programs are on a path towards business careers that add value to the bottom line, to the planet, and to humanity.  That's why CESR has created a program to reward students who attend CESR events.

How it works:

All students who attend CESR events are automatically entered into the program. After attending your first event, we will send you a welcome email letting you know you are in the program. After 2 events you have qualified for level 1.  As you attend additional events you will progress toward the next level status. Each time you reach a qualifying level we will send you your prize! 

FAQs:

• Do I have to register in advance for events or can I just show up?
  • Registration requirements depend on the event. Some events have a cap on the number of attendees, while others are open. Please check the event in advance and register if required.
• Does my event attendance reset at the start of every year or can I roll over my level from one year to the next?
  • Students cannot roll over their level from one year to the next. But they can earn prizes every year they participate. 
• Does participation in student organization events count?
  • CESR loves and supports student organizations and is coordinating with them to allow their events to count under this program. Please check directly with student organizations to determine whether their events qualify.
• How do I check on my status?
  • Please email CESR@colorado.edu for a progress update any time.
• Who named this program?
  • This program was named through an open call for entries. Thank you to everyone who submitted to the competition and who voted for their favorite concept. Habin Kim (BA '22)  was the winner!
