About Us

The Professional and Academic Conference Endowment (PACE) provides funding for CU Boulder undergraduates to present, perform or exhibit their research and creative work at conferences and exhibitions.  Students in all majors are encouraged to apply.

Since the Boettcher Foundation provided critical seed-funding in 2014, PACE has enabled more than 300 undergraduates to engage their professional communities in local, national and global contexts. As they present their work, these students not only connect with leaders from the public and private sectors, they move conversations forward—and in new directions. 

Student stories speak to the growth and validation that comes from engaging their professional communities, and their faculty mentors’ enthusiasm highlights the leadership these students will provide in advancing humankind.  We encourage students to check out the upcoming presentation opportunities and other resources included on this site—and contact us with questions.
