Do you know someone that exemplifies leadership? Nominate them for the CU Involvement Awards! Each year the Center for Student Involvement and the Colorado Creed join together to recognize leadership and engagement across campus. We are seeking nominations of students, student organizations, faculty and staff who exemplify leadership and passion across the Boulder community.
Nominations are open Feb. 3–March 16.

Journey Leaders are students in New Student & Family Programs (NSFP) that help welcome our newest class of CU Buffs to campus. Journey leaders help facilitate all NSFP events, ensuring events run smoothly and assisting new students and their families in their adjustment to CU. As a Journey Leader, you will gain valuable leadership experience while meeting new people and getting involved on campus.
Have an upcoming event? Book a Folsom Field premium space for event dates through Feb. 28; campus groups receive a 25% discount on the venue rental. Inquire at folsomfieldevents.com.
We offer grants to support undergraduate projects in all fields of study and professional practice. Students can apply for funding to help mentors and develop projects, and faculty can secure funding to support student teams.
Students must be degree-seeking undergraduates at CU Boulder to apply for UROP funding and should not plan to graduate before the end of a proposed project's grant term—no exceptions. All student grants must be supervised by an eligible mentor.
These grants provide funding to students to partner with a faculty mentor to help on an existing project.
These grants allow students to take ownership of part or all of a project with an original proposal.
Tenured/tenure-track research and teaching faculty, professional researchers and practitioners, and postdoctoral scholars at CU Boulder and Anschutz Medical Campus are eligible to mentor student grants and apply for faculty grants.

Our Mentor Award recognizes campus individuals supporting undergraduates on research and creative projects, regardless of UROP funding.
Tenured/tenure-track research faculty, teaching faculty, postdocs and graduate students at CU Boulder and Anschutz Medical Campus are eligible for UROP's Mentor Award.

Award recipients will have the option to award an assistantship to an eligible undergraduate of their choosing in the next academic year.

Our campus building access emphasizes safety and building security while providing convenient access for students, faculty, staff and visitors.
Most academic buildings with scheduled classes will be open and unlocked between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, to allow nonaffiliates access to scheduled events and other activities.
Prior access preferences established on Buff OneCards for students, faculty and staff remain in place. Students, faculty and staff who normally have weekend and after-hours access to specific buildings will still have access to those buildings.
CU affiliates needing special access to a specific building are asked to contact their building proctors, C-CURE operators or department chairs to request the authorization/access needed on their Buff OneCards.
University Libraries, the Recreation Center, the UMC and Health and Wellness Services publish their respective hours on their websites.
