Family Involvement

Throughout the year we host Buff Family programming opportunities for you to stay connected and engaged in the CU Boulder community. Be sure to follow our Buff Family Facebook Page to stay up-to-date on current events and campus updates.

Check out what we have going on right now!

Family Weekend

Family Weekend is a time to connect with your student, experience campus and have fun. Save the date for Family Weekend 2023! Join us Oct. 12-15 for this fun fall tradition.

Buff Family Webinars and Coffee Hours

Buff Family Webinars and Coffee hours are engagement opportunities for our families to connect with New Student & Family Programs and each other. We will discuss a variety of topics each month.

Letters from Home

Letters from Home provides an opportunity for parents and families to write and submit some encouraging words to their student that will be emailed to them during the third week of the semester. The third week is typically one of the toughest times of transition where students are experiencing homesickness. These encouraging emails can be words of affirmation, opportunities for reflection, pride, or even hopes for the next four years. Submit some words to your student today!

Fall Welcome Family Sessions

Fall Welcome is an opportunity to connect with faculty, staff, students and fellow Buff families. We will offer specific in-person programs for families and hope you can join us.

Other Buff Family Involvement Opportunities

As we move throughout the year, you will receive communication from us about the following involvement opportunities!

Fall Welcome Family Sessions

Fall Welcome is an opportunity to connect with faculty, staff, students and fellow Buff families. We will offer specific in-person and virtual sessions and programs for families and hope you can join us.

Marinus Smith Awards

The Marinus Smith Award recognizes faculty and staff members who have had a particularly positive impact on our students. Honorees are nominated by those they teach, mentor, support and serve. In New Student & Family Programs, we believe that this award is particularly special, because nominators have taken it upon themselves to write about an individual who has made a remarkable impact on their time at the university.

Scholarships

NSFP offers scholarships for incoming and continuing CU Boulder students. Learn more and support the scholarship fund.

Forever Buffs

Stay in touch with CU Boulder after your student graduates. Join the Alumni Association as a friend of CU Boulder and enjoy lifetime membership benefits.

Parent Fund

The Parent Fund is one of many way for parents to promote the success of students through a variety of programs and initiatives that enrich the student experience.

Taste of Home

We asked CU Buffs and Buff Families to submit their favorite family recipe to share with our community. We are excited to pass these recipes along to you and we hope you can recreate them with your family at home! View the 2023 digital Taste of Home Cookbook!
