Alumni Association News

This April, 145 Forever Buffs attended Alumni Weekend, a three-day event that included lunch at The Sink, a hike at Chautauqua, a tour of the university’s Media Archeology Lab and dinner in downtown Boulder. Current students attended several events to share about their CU Boulder experiences. 

“Sko Forever Buffs! What a fun and fabulous weekend with local and out-of-town alums,” said Phil Caragol (Comm’75) on social media. “Let’s do it again in 2026!” 

The Alumni Association also hosted a special recognition ceremony for the classes of 2020, 2015, 1985 and 1975. 

Next year, Alumni Weekend will include the Alumni Awards Ceremony, which previously took place during Homecoming Weekend. The annual ceremony is the second-longest-running tradition on campus and celebrates the outstanding achievements of CU Buffs. The 2025 award winners will be announced this fall.

Celebrate at Away Games

Buffs Bashes are the ultimate away-game tailgates, uniting hundreds of CU football fans. Hosted by the Office of the President, Office of the Chancellor, Advancement and CU Athletics, these events feature the CU Spirit Squad and concession-style food and drinks. Buffs Bashes occur before every away game near the opponent’s stadium. The events are free, but registration is required.

Mentorship Opportunities

Grow your professional skills and make a lasting impact on fellow Buffs through the Forever Buffs Network Mentorship Program. Access free mentoring or sign up to mentor alumni and students. The program runs from October through May, with options to meet online or in person. Participants receive training and invitations to program events. 

You can also mentor incoming CU Boulder students through the Alumni Guide Program to help ease their transition to college. The program supports two calls with an incoming student: one before classes begin and one six weeks into the semester. The first six weeks of college are a critical time, and mentorship helps lend your best support and advice.
