Alumni Association News Fall 2021

Host an Event at Koenig

Forever Buffs can rent the historic Koenig Alumni Center for both large and small-scale events — weddings, graduation ceremonies, retirement parties, retreats and more. The ground level of the historic house and its back deck were recently renovated to better serve gatherings of all sizes. 

Jordan Geiger (Mgmt’11) and his wife Lindsey Vencill can attest — the couple held their wedding at Koenig in 2021. According to Lindsey, it was a “magical night.” CU mascot Chip even made an appearance. 

“Jordan had always dreamed of getting married on campus,” said Lindsey. “Boulder is a very special place to us, and Koenig encompassed the history and charm that we wanted for our wedding day.”  

Alumni receive a 10% discount when booking the venue. 

CU Lights up the Zoo 

On Nov. 21, head to the Denver Zoo for the annual CU Night at Zoo Lights event. This year, a portion of the registration proceeds will be devoted to funding student scholarships. CU invites Forever Buffs and their families to join this annual tradition and enjoy a sneak peek at the Zoo Lights before it opens to the general public. Tickets include admission to Zoo Lights and photo opportunities with mascot Chip.
