Welcome to the University of Colorado Boulder.

This fall we are excited about joining the Pac-12 Conference in a union of world-class institutions. Enthusiasm for our new conference goes beyond athletics to encompass new opportunities for CU-Boulder academic and research collaborations and stronger connections with thousands of CU alumni. We're excited to expand our research partnerships with fellow Pac-12 universities in areas like space exploration, renewable energy, cancer research and teacher preparation, and we look forward to reconnecting with our 36,000 alumni who reside in the Pac-12 region.

This historic move comes as we debut our Creating Futures comprehensive fundraising campaign to advance the economy, culture and health of Colorado and the nation. This campaign supports our excellence and impact in learning and teaching, discovery and innovation, health and wellness, and community and culture, and we are encouraged by the enthusiasm and generosity of our supporters thus far.

Indeed, it is a time of extraordinary opportunity at CU-Boulder. We invite you to join us as students, faculty, staff or alumni as we continue to redefine learning and discovery in a global context and set new standards in education, research, scholarship and creative work.

Go Buffs!
