Student Edition - Sept. 1, 2016

This Friday, Sept. 2, is the annual Rocky Mountain Showdown at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. Our team, our school, and our colors are something we Buffs take great pride in and it is very important for us to represent the Buffs in the best light as we take on the Colorado State Rams.

The city manager and staff will ask the Boulder City Council next week to consider a collaborative plan with the university to develop a new hotel and conference center in the heart of the city. The center will have the potential to help revitalize The Hill commercial district and create a modern gathering place for academics, researchers and the community.

The 2016 Rocky Mountain Showdown featuring the University of Colorado vs. Colorado State University will take place Friday, Sept. 2, at Sports Authority Field at Mile High stadium in Denver. The kickoff for this highly anticipated event is at 6 p.m. and marks the 88th meeting of the CU and CSU teams.

With the second week of school wrapping up and many new and returning Buffs settled in, this weekend would be a good time to explore Boulder and the surrounding areas. Housing and Dining Services offers some tips.

Are you going to the Rocky Mountain Showdown and need a ride? The University of Colorado Student Government and CU Athletics have paired up to make free bus rides available to CU Boulder students going to the CU vs CSU game on Friday, Sept. 2.
