Tuesday, Nov. 14. 5-6 p.m., Engineering Success Hub Conference Room, ECNW 150A
Led by our Peer Academic Coaches. Come and learn how to make a successful study plan over the break, while also taking some time off for yourself. 

Many campus services including dining, bus transportation and residence hall front desk hours will be reduced throughout fall break. Whether you live on or off campus, review some reminders and tips before you leave town.

Wednesday, Nov. 15. 8 p.m, Will Vill East lobby 
Join us for a Friendsgiving meal to relax, recharge and celebrate with your classmates after completing your engineering exams! We will have smoked turkey breast, sweet potato casserole, corn bread, pumpkin pie and more.

You can shape the future of the Engineering Connections community by sharing feedback about your experience at CU Boulder this fall. Check your CU email for an invitation to complete an anonymous first-semester survey. The survey takes about five minutes to complete, and you can opt in to receive $10 in Campus Cash for your participation. 

If you haven’t already completed the survey, look in your inbox for a reminder with your unique survey link. If you already submitted your survey, thank you!

» Want to know more about this survey? BOLD is hosting a lunch-and-learn event on Thursday, Nov. 16 at 11:30 a.m. Join them for pizza and a discussion about previous campus survey results and what can be done to make CU a more inclusive community where all students can thrive. 

Tuesday, Nov. 28. 5:30-6:30 p.m., Will Vill East lobby
It’s true: Your professors have failed too! Hear from CU Engineering professors about times they have faced setbacks and how they overcame them. Please join us — we want to pack the house and support our continued collaboration with faculty! 

Join our Engineering Wayfinders as they help prepare you for spring 2024 registration. They will walk you through your degree audit, help you select classes for your major, and review enrollment essentials like add/drop/swap.
