Buff 2 Buff Program

The Buff 2 Buff program is an opportunity for you to connect with our Journey Leaders to learn more about CU Boulder and what it has to offer. Here is what you can expect from the Buff 2 Buff program:

  • You will placed into a group based on your online experience course
  • We will send a text message alerting you if you missed an enrollment window
  • Each week, your Journey Leader Mentor will post on the discussion board, located in your group’s homepage within the online experience course. We'll post about topics like how to get involved, recommended campus resources, and advice from current CU students. We'll also post a question to get to know you better.
  • Posting on the discussion board is a great way to connect with other incoming students and your Journey Leader Mentors
