5 fun ways to celebrate your graduate

Now is the time to think about how you can celebrate your graduate this spring. Your student has worked hard to complete their degree, and we have resources to help you to recognize their accomplishments.

Signs, banners and posters

You can download ready-to-print signs, banners and posters to send to your printer. These are perfect for displaying on your lawn, at a graduation party or for other recognition of their graduation.

Attend commencement ceremonies

Honor your graduate by attending the spring commencement ceremony on May 11 at 8:30 a.m. at Folsom Field. Your graduate may also be invited to participate in recognition ceremonies hosted by colleges, schools, departments and programs to mark their involvement and achievements at CU Boulder.

Tag your social media posts

You can download graphics to post on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. Add #ForeverBuffs wherever you post so we can celebrate with you! 

Give alumni gear

Your graduate is now a CU Boulder alumni. Recognize their accomplishments with a graduation gift from the CU Book Store. A frame for their new diploma and CU-branded party supplies also offer a way to celebrate graduating students.

Connect to the Forever Buffs community

Remind your student to join the Forever Buffs community. They are now part of the Buffs community, which includes almost 300,000 alumni worldwide. By joining this community, your student can stay connected to the alumni association and resources to help them after graduation.
