An Ebio major by day, slam dunk champion by night. Meet Mak, my neighbor and current SlamJampalooza winner. Mak moved to Colorado from Alaska to attend CU Boulder and hone his mini-hoop skills. Every opportunity he gets, Mak travels around the world to scuba dive and fish. If you were to ask Mak how he would describe himself, he would say he’s a mix between Shaq and Aquaman. An opportunist by nature, there is no doubt Mak helps make Boulder the intriguing place we can all call home. Thanks Makane!  Read More

“Besides the mountains, what really drew me to Colorado is the openness of the people, not just with each other, but also with activities and events,” recalls Jake, a skateboard, snowboard, and slackline enthusiast. Other than trying to maintain his balance on various kinds of objects, Jake studies Neuroscience and Business at CU Boulder. You can find him either diving at Casa Bonita or at an Umphrey’s McGee show, his favorite jam band. However, Jake promised me more than anything he loves sitting on the couch and playing some Rocket League after a long day. Thanks Jake!  Read More

Cameran studies Environmental Science; however, his first priority is remaining free from dangers because, according to him, “security is a mission, not an intermission.”  Read More
