Student Life

So, you did it. You aced your résumé skills and phone interview for the job of your dreams. Now comes the real test, the last obstacle, the one thing keeping you from success and having to move back into your parent’s basement…the in-person interview. Dun dun dun. I myself used...

Over the past couple of months, I decided to add academic honors to my degree. This was a rare decision because I decided to do this about 3 months before I am graduating. In the economics department, honors entails writing an honors thesis and defending it in front of a...

On February 16th, the CU-Boulder student body and Boulder community residents gathered in Macky Auditorium to see the well-known Edward Snowden take the stage—over Google Hangouts.

If you’ve travelled basically anywhere in the country, then you’ve probably been to DIA. It’s one of the country’s largest hubs, and almost unavoidable when you are flying somewhere. For those traveling for spring break, or needing to get away from Colorado (though, I couldn’t imagine why), the idea of...

Collegiates—ever wondered what it would be like to try swing dance? Did you know there is a Swing Dance club at CU that gives free swing lessons and a social dance every week in the Glenn Miller Ballroom? Formerly meeting on Wednesdays, this year the Swing Dance Club will hold...
