As CU Boulder celebrates its 150th anniversary, the campus community is invited to help shape one of the year's signature events: Shine on Norlin, taking place Thursday, Oct. 1, from 4 to 8 p.m. on Norlin Quad.

The celebration will feature food, live performances, interactive activities and the premiere of a spectacular visual storytelling experience projected onto the west face of Norlin Library. Through light, imagery and animation, the show will bring CU Boulder's people, discoveries, achievements and aspirations to life. Following the debut, projections will continue nightly at dusk throughout October, from approximately 6 to 9 p.m.  

Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to help tell CU Boulder's story and showcase the creativity, innovation and impact that define our campus. There are several ways to get involved:

• Share a story or image for possible inclusion in the Norlin projection. Historic photos, research breakthroughs, milestone achievements, alumni success stories and creative ideas are welcome.
• Host a table on Norlin Quad to highlight your college, school, department, program, research, history or accomplishments.
• Participate in the evening program through a brief performance, presentation or demonstration that showcases the talent, scholarship and creativity of the CU Boulder community.

To share ideas, ask questions or express interest in participating, contact 150@colorado.edu by Sept. 18.

Shine on Norlin is an opportunity to celebrate the people and accomplishments that have shaped CU Boulder over the past 150 years while looking ahead to what's next. Help create an unforgettable evening that reflects the spirit, excellence and impact of our university.
