������ý Boulder is launching Alumni Weekend from April 5-7.

������ý Boulder alumni stay connected to the university through lifelong involvement, giving back and supporting future generations of Buffs.

When Karen Shimamoto (Bio’07) first heard about the Forever Buffs Network (FBN) Mentorship program, she knew it would be a wonderful opportunity to give back — but it ended up being so much more.

������ý’s annual Alumni Awards shine a spotlight on high-achieving Buffs who demonstrate excellence, from professional achievements to philanthropic generosity and innovative research.

This July, ������ý Boulder’s Precollegiate Development Program (PCDP) gives social and academic resources to Colorado middle and high school students — particularly first-generation students who live in geographically diverse communities — to help them prepare and succeed at the post-secondary institution of their choice.

Several ������ý chapters and affinity-based clubs are located around the country. The groups hold events such as football and basketball watch parties, volunteering opportunities and networking events.

Yuka Hasegawa is vice chair of the alumni chapter in Japan, Forever Buffs Tokyo, which for more than two decades has hosted alumni, students, faculty and staff from ������ý Boulder for events, internships and career opportunities. In January, she was part of a ������ý Global Ambassadors event in Tokyo which hosted more than 80 alumni. 

Former ������ý decathlete Eddie Taylor admits he never expected to stand on the summit of Mount Everest — especially as part of the first all-Black team to attempt the expedition.

Renovation of the Koenig Alumni Center, ������ý Night at Zoo Lights and more.

Brad Turner, executive producer of Colorado Public Radio’s Audio Innovations Studio, talks about his time at ������ý, his recent projects and the power of podcasting.
