Getting Involved
Well, fellow buffaloes, our school year is officially underway. We are a few weeks into school now, we beat the CSU Rams, and the first round of midterms are fast approaching. Organizations on and off campus are also hard at work and still have positions open and available. CU Student Government is one of those organizations and we are looking for passionate, hardworking and fun-loving students who want to be involved on campus.
Looking for volunteer opportunities? Monthly Give-A-Days are a great way to become involved through volunteering around Boulder.
