Buffs Welcome Back Event

From 7 to 9 p.m., each residence hall will have an event specific to the hall to welcome back students living on campus! This event will provide social opportunities, re-connections and a chance to meet new students who just moved in.

Boulder U-Fix-It Clinic

Have something that needs to be fixed but no tools to fix it yourself? At Boulder U-Fix-It Clinic events, people bring all sorts of broken appliances, toys, electronics, clothing and work with volunteer coaches to learn hands-on repair skills. A set of tools is available for each participant to use. Be sure to reserve your time slot! This free event is held starting at 1 p.m. at the Boulder Public Library.

Clare Thérèse in concert

Pianist and vocalist Clare Thérèse performs songs that tell stories, make fun of heartache, revel in theatricality and expose the bare bones of the human soul. Don't miss her at The Laughing Goat on Pearl Street! Show starts at 8 p.m., with a $5–$10 cover charge.
