Could your research, invention or creative idea make an impact beyond the academic world? The National Science Foundation’s I-Corps programs offer the ideal starting point. Designed to help those new to commercialization explore the market potential of their innovations, I-Corps serves as a practical and accessible first step for anyone—not only CU students and faculty—looking to translate their discoveries into real-world solutions.
The Main Student Recreation Center will be closed May 4–14 for scheduled maintenance. Williams Village Rec Center will remain open during this time.

Construction activities will have partial traffic impacts beginning on Folsom Street near Colorado Avenue related to the university's chilled water line project. These will take effect during commencement and related activities May 1–3. Facilities Management is coordinating closely with event organizers to minimize impact.
