University
The University of Colorado, Boulder has been positively impacting the lives of its students as well as the surrounding communities since it was founded in 1876. Pioneering the evolution of public education, and how it balances bold ideas with practical application, CU has become a hub for entrepreneurship, innovation, and tech. Being a Buff means more than who you root for on Saturday’s, it also means that you strive “to be a leader in addressing the humanitarian, social and technological challenges of the twenty-first century.” AboutBoulder.com supports CU Boulder, and the future leaders it’s fostering, by providing exposure to the organizations, companies, and individuals that make up Buff Nation. Please enjoy our content provided by and for students at CU Boulder, and SKO BUFFS!

Even in our high-tech Boulder Valley, spelling counts. While "auto-correct" is a powerful tool, it is only that. It is one tool. It is not a complete solution. While much of what we write is done on a computer, much is still written by hand. Two age-old questions that are still relevant for students…

Even in our high-tech Boulder Valley, spelling counts. While "auto-correct" is a powerful tool, it is only that. It is one tool. It is not a complete solution. While much of what we write is done on a computer, much is still written by hand. Two age-old questions that are still relevant for students, which includes ALL of us, spelling counts, and neatness counts. I don't care what teachers might say about them not counting, that is untrue. Neatness ALWAYS counts, and spelling ALWAYS counts! As an aside, knowing how to spell words we are using in our writing increases our confidence, thereby im…

Boulder is steeped in mystery, tall tales, and myths. Some have some facts mixed in. Many are familiar to our readers and to many other Boulderites (if thee are any who are not readers). Our list today includes the well-known tall tales as well as some of the more obscure stories from our Valley. So let's agree to suspend our disbelief and shine some light on the depths of darkness and see what we find! The Curse of Chief Niwot: We are all familiar with the famous "Niwot's Curse." I first heard it in the form of "anyone who visits the Boulder Valley is doomed to fore…

The "Boulder Skyline Traverse" is one of Boulder's iconic mountain running trails that summits each of the 5 mountain peaks that etch the Boulder skyline. At 35 miles and 10,500 ft vertical gain, the out-and-back traverse provides a long day of physical and emotional ups and downs -- not unlike life itself. As a health coach, I find my tools for achieving success on ultra-marathon mountain runs like the Boulder Skyline Traverse apply equally well to life's often challenging and trying ups and downs.

For animal lovers, college can be a difficult time. Going to university likely means devoting the majority of one's life to studying, tests, and essay writing. This has several implications; one of which being that a student might not have time for a dog or a cat. For me, this has been the reality of my schooling situation. Yet, I cannot even recall a time when there was not a dog in my home. As a friend once told me; a household is not complete without a dog. I imagine that many cat-people will say the same when it comes to cats. So, what can animal-loving, but very busy, college students do?…

Name: Zac Janczak Business: E-commerce CU Leeds Advertising Major, Junior “What’s your major and what are you studying, what year are you?" I am majoring in advertising with a minor emphasis in business management. “What led you to choose that major?” I chose to study advertising because it fit my creative style as an entrepreneur, and offered the opportunity to develop my skills as a marketer. Nobody will know about your brand if you do not make others aware of what it is your company has to offer, and so I figured that advertising/marketing is a skillset that will forever b…
