Student Life Winter Updates

Review upcoming dates for mobile food pantries 

The Basic Needs Center’s mobile food pantries are free and open to CU Boulder students, faculty and staff, as well as community members of Boulder and Broomfield counties. Attendees may receive up to 30 pounds of food in multiple boxes. 

Reminder: UMC construction project to take place spring, summer 2026 

Upcoming construction will improve the HVAC system, Campus Dining & Hospitality loading dock, and the pavement between the University Memorial Center and CASE buildings. Many of the UMC’s dining locations will be closed during the construction. However, food will be available at The Connection and UMC Market in the building, and at the Roaming Ralphie food trailer nearby at the UClub.
