Engagement
CU Boulder isn’t just your school—it’s your home. Whether you’re in your first or final year, there are many ways for you to get involved, make friends and enjoy student life.
Explore What's Next
Summer is a great time to reflect on the past academic year and start thinking about what’s next. Fall 2026 will bring new chances to get involved, try something different and shape how you want your year to look. Whether you’re continuing something you already enjoy or exploring a brand‑new opportunity, now is the moment to see what’s out there.
From student organizations and campus jobs to leadership roles, service and more, involvement can help you meet people, build skills and feel more connected to campus. Take time this summer to explore your options, bookmark opportunities that spark your interest and make a plan for a fall that feels like you.
