Welcome to the
University of Colorado Boulder Dear Proud CU Parent, Thank you so much for participating in Family Weekend 2015! We hope that you have a fun and memorable visit.

Students are buoyed by the knowledge that they have the support and counsel of their parents as they navigate college life and strive to excel in this competitive arena. Parents are the support system that remains consistent as a student transitions beyond high school. Research has shown that the more parents are involved, the more likely their student will succeed in college. Parental involvement at CU-Boulder is welcomed. In fact, it’s highly encouraged! To support your involvement we have a Parent Program that is comprised of three parts — the Office of Parent Relations, the CU Parents Association, and the Parent Fund. We hope that the brief description of each component of the Parent Program
University of Colorado Boulder
that follows will help you understand how the University strives to serve CU-Boulder students, parents, and family members.
The Office of Parent Relations (OPR)

The Office of Parent Relations is your designated on-campus partner. As part of the Division of Student Affairs, OPR works with CU-Boulder parents to give them the tools to help their student succeed. OPR fields phone calls; connects with and informs parents during new student welcome; develops and distributes print and electronic communications; plans events ranging from Family Weekend to regional receptions and Summer Send-offs; networks with campus departments and leadership to support parent involvement and student success; provides administrative oversight of the CU Parents Association (CUPA); and helps parents and family members understand and relate better to their student’s University experience. Reach out to OPR at parents@colorado.edu or (303) 492-1380.
The CU Parents Association (CUPA)
The CU Parents Association was founded to help parents support student success and develop their own connection to the university. When parents and family members join CUPA they enjoy a number of benefits and can be part of some great programs. The CUPA Parent Advisory Board is an active group of parent volunteers who meet on campus two to three times a year to provide their perspective on important issues to key University administrators and provide the people power to keep the wide variety of CUPA Programs on track!
The Parent Fund
The Parent Fund is one of many meaningful ways for parents to support student success at CU-Boulder. The Parent Fund enables the University to fund important programs and initiatives that positively impact students from movein through graduation. The generous support of caring CU parents has

Run Ralphie Run The University of Colorado Boulder has one of the more unique mascots in all of intercollegiate athletics: a real buffalo named Ralphie. Ralphie V leads the football team on the field both at the start of the game and the second half. It is truly one of the most special sights that exists anywhere in college or professional sports, especially for opposing teams, who often stop in their tracks watching the massive buffalo round the end zone and head directly at their sideline.
16
University of Colorado Boulder
The buffalo first appeared in 1934, three weeks after a contest to select an official school nickname was sponsored by the Silver & Gold newspaper and “Buffaloes” was the winning entry. For the final game of the ‘34 season, a group of students paid $25 to rent a buffalo calf along with a real cowboy as his keeper. The calf was the son of Killer, a famed bison at Trails End Ranch in Fort Collins. It took the cowboy and four students to keep the calf under control on the sidelines during a 7-0 win at the University of Denver on Thanksgiving Day. Prior to 1934, CU athletic teams usually were referred to as the “Silver and Gold,” but other nicknames teams were sometimes called included Silver Helmets, Yellow Jackets, Hornets, Arapahoes, Big Horns, Grizzlies, and Frontiersmen. The student newspaper decided to sponsor a national contest in the summer of 1934, with a $5 prize to go to the author of the winning selection. Entries, over 1,000 in all, arrived from almost every state in the union. Ten days later, the newspaper declared Boulder resident Andrew Dickson the winner. Through the years, synonyms that quickly came into use included “Bison,” “Buffs,” “Thundering Herd,” “Stampeding Herd,” “Golden Avalanche,” and “Golden Buffaloes.”
Live buffaloes made appearances at CU games on and off through the years, usually in a pen on the field or sometimes driven around in a cage; in the 1940s, the school kept a baby buffalo in a special pen at the University Riding Academy. The first named buffalo was “Mr. Chips,” who appeared for the first time at the 1957 CU Days kickoff rally. In 1966, when the original Ralphie was donated to CU, it was the duty of the five sophomore class officers to run the buffalo around the stadium with fans participating in the “Buffalo Stomp” at the conclusion of the run which shook the ground around Folsom Field. However that tradition was halted by CU officials because of the actual physical damage the run was causing. Around that same time, head coach Eddie Crowder was approached with the idea a charging buffalo running out on the field before the game with the team right behind her. Crowder thought it was a great idea, and the debut of this great tradition took place on October 28, 1967, CU’s homecoming game against Oklahoma State. Though OSU won the game, 10-7, the greatest mascot tradition in college athletics was born. To view Ralphie V run during the Spring 2012 game, go to www. cubuffs.com/mediaPortal/player. dbml?catid=1801&id=1330505.

Colorado National Home of CU Golf Teams During Family Weekend, on Friday, October 2nd, registrants will be playing in the Family Weekend Golf Tournament at Colorado National Golf Club, the official home of the University of Colorado men’s and women’s golf teams. It was long a dream of CU’s golf coaches that the University have its own golf course. In 2009, as a result of the efforts of Steve Kerr and the dedication of Colorado National Golf Club, the dreams of two late CU golf coaches can to fruition — Les Fowler (who coached 29 years from 1948 to 1977) and Mark Simpson (who coached the next 29 years). Steve Kerr, a Denver native and one of Fowler’s last recruits, played under both coaches as Simpson took over in the middle of his Buffalo career. A longtime supporter of CU’s golf teams, Kerr remained close with Simpson through the years and saw his daughter Erin become one of the first real stars of CU’s fledgling women’s program. Kerr always wanted to give something back to the program he loved and cherished, and the idea of arranging for a golf course had been discussed several times with Simpson.
18
Located in Erie and formerly known as Vista Ridge Golf Club, Kerr’s purchase of the entire operation and subsequent licensing agreement with his alma mater created the Colorado National Golf Club, which provides Colorado’s men’s and women’s programs with one of the finest arrangements in all of college golf. According to Kerr, “The future of the golf programs at the University of Colorado is here, at Colorado National Golf Club. This is our chance to showcase the Buff Nation.” CU’s two U.S. Open champions, Hale Irwin (’67) and Steve Jones (’81), both flew in from Arizona to represent their respective coaches during the dedication. Irwin won the 1974, 1979, and 1990 U.S. Opens, while Jones was crowned champion in 1996. The club features CU memorabilia from all sports, highlighted by CU Golf All-America Awards and plaques, plus keepsakes on display donated by several former CU golfers including Irwin, Jones and Jonathan Kaye, as well as Simpson’s last golf bag he maintained as head coach.

CU-Boulder Offers Resources to
Help Students Find Housing
As CU-Boulder becomes a more residential campus, more students have the option of living in the residence halls during their upperclass years. However, many students will journey off-campus to live after their freshman year. Off-Campus Student Services runs an online rental database, Ralphie’s List, where students can search available properties year round. During peak rental season, December–March, students will find several hundred properties to
22
click through. Students can also use the Ralphie’s List’s message boards to find roommates, post sublets, and buy and sell furniture. To search for rental housing in Boulder visit ocss.colorado.edu and click on Ralphie’s List.
University of Colorado Boulder
For more information on living in Boulder, call (303) 492-7053 or visit ocss.colorado.edu. Courtesy of Off-Campus Housing and Neighborhood Relations (OCHNR) at CUBoulder. During Family Weekend, Suzanne Stafford, director of OCHNR, will present “Finding Off-Campus Housing” on Friday, October 2nd from 10:30 until 11:30 a.m. in Imig Music Building and on Saturday, October 3rd from 10 until 11 a.m. in the Visual Arts Center Auditorium.
During our Annual Off-Campus Housing Fairs, generally in February and March, students can meet over 60 landlords, property managers, and off-campus vendors right here on campus. In the past, our fairs have attracted 3,000 attendants and have provided students with a convenient way to shop and compare living options. For students who are specifically looking for apartments, the office can provide a copy of our Apartment Complex Guide. The office also maintains a list of contact information for several Boulder property management companies. Have questions about leases or tenants’ rights? Students can meet with our staff attorney for free lease reviews or regarding any landlord/ tenant issues.

Tutoring and Academic Services
Available at CU-Boulder
First-year students are often unsure when it is time to look for a tutor or where to find one. A few signs that your student may benefit from academic assistance may include slipping grades, poor time management skills, confusion about the subject matter, a lack of confidence, or possibly working through diagnosed learning disabilities.
24
University of Colorado Boulder
Here are some resources available to your student on the CU campus: •
All faculty members have office hours and are available for students to either make an appointment or drop in. Faculty office hours can change each semester and will be posted on their class syllabus. In addition, many departments post faculty office hours on their departmental website.
•
All students living in the residence halls and Bear Creek Apartments are offered free tutoring through Housing and Dining Services’ Academic Support Assistance Program (ASAP). This program offers group and drop-in tutoring in specific courses and subject matter free of charge. Students simply fill out a tutor request at housing.colorado.edu/resources-tips/tutoring and return the completed form to any residence hall office or the ASAP offices located in Kittredge Central. If your student has any questions about free tutoring or is interested in becoming a tutor, they can contact ASAP at asap@colorado.edu or (303) 735-3303.
•
If your student does not live in campus housing, the Student Academic Success Center (SASC) is the place to find a tutor. SASC-sponsored services are free and include academic skills workshops and tutoring. SASC’s free services may require a referral from the student’s academic advisor. In addition, tutors for hire can be found through the SASC online bulletin board at www.colorado.edu/sasc/tutoring.
•
Many departments will offer a list of paid tutors specific to their majors. For example, a list of chemistry tutors is posted at chem.colorado.edu/ current-graduates/tutor-list and integrative physiology tutors can be found at colorado.edu/intphys/ugrad/tutoring.html. Students can find departmental tutor lists with a simple search for “tutors” on the www.colorado.edu website.
•
Perhaps your student could use some assistance with time management, test anxiety, or “buffing” up their study skills. Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) provides services that can be of benefit and help them bounce back from an academically difficult semester. Group sessions and workshops are open to all CU-Boulder students without charge or advanced sign-up. More information can be found at www.colorado.edu/counseling/services/groupsworkshops.
•
If your student was diagnosed with a learning disability during their K-12 years, they will need to be re-evaluated before they can request accommodations or services from CU’s Office of Disability Services. More information can be found at disabilityservices.colorado.edu/getting-started-ds/accessing-disabilityservices. If your student has been prescribed a medication to help them with a learning disability, their first semester at college is not the time to stop using it. Talk to your student’s prescribing physician before making any changes in medication during this transitional time.

International Education at CU:
A Study Abroad Primer for Parents
26
Q
Why should my student consider studying abroad?
A
Your student will earn credit toward his or her degree, learn and build skills for a future career, be able to put an impressive experience on a resume, learn a new language or continue studying one, experience a new way of living and learning, step out of a comfort zone, and learn skills they would not otherwise learn. Studying abroad is a transformational experience for students.
Q
Is it common to study abroad?
A
At CU-Boulder, approximately 25 percent of students who enter the University as first-year students and graduate attend a study abroad program.
University of Colorado Boulder
Q
Does studying abroad set student back from graduating in four years?
A
A recent study of graduation rates showed that CU-Boulder students who study abroad graduated at the same speed as students who did not study abroad. Your student can earn credit toward his or her degree while studying abroad, including major, minor, certificate, core, and elective credit. Ideally, your student will start planning at least a year in advance.
Q
What are the options available for my student?
A
There are nearly 400 CU-Boulder approved study abroad programs in over 73 countries, so your student definitely has a lot of options! Students are encouraged to find a program that is a great “fit� for them taking into consideration factors such as courses offered, location, program type, cost, etc. Non-CU programs are also an option.
www.universityparent.com/colorado
27
Q
What does a study abroad program cost?
A
The cost of studying abroad varies by program. Some programs are similar to the cost of studying in Boulder (sometimes less), and others are more.
Q
How does my student get started?
A
Your student can attend Study Abroad 101, a 30-minute session presented five days a week. At Study Abroad 101 students learn about reasons for studying abroad, program types, housing options, financial aid and affordability, major/ minor credit, College of Arts and Sciences core, credits, grades, eligibility requirements, the application process, deadlines, and graduation information.
Q
What services do CU-Boulder Study Abroad Programs provide to my student? Study Abroad Programs provides a variety of services before, during, and after a student’s study abroad experience including:

University of Colorado Boulder
Q
What about safety and study abroad?
A
The personal safety of your student while he or she is studying abroad is of extreme importance both to you and to the Office of International Education. We take the role of preparing students very seriously, and facilitate that preparation through pre-departure orientations here in Boulder, extensive resources guides, contact with program providers, and on-site staff knowledgeable in the area. While your student is abroad, he or she will have access to on-site staff for assistance as well as our 24-hour emergency telephone. Although most experiences abroad are trouble free, CU-Boulder makes sure that students are well-prepared in order to remain safe and to maximize their experience abroad.
Q
Where can I go for further information?
A

Student Perspective:
My Study Abroad to New Zealand During my junior year of college, I had the opportunity to study abroad across the world in New Zealand. I didn’t always have my heart set on traveling to New Zealand, but the CU Study Abroad Office led me in a good direction when I told them I was looking for adventure. Luckily for me, it was adventure I got! While in New Zealand, I was able to experience so many cool things. Just in my first week, I went zip-lining through a cave, whitewater rafted over a 23-foot drop, rolled down a hill in a giant hamster ball (called zorbing), went bungee jumping and learned about the native Maori culture. I knew from this week that I was about to
30
have the time of my life. Attending a new university abroad, it’s important to get involved. A few friends and I joined the tramping club, which ended up being an awesome decision. With the club, I was able to do some incredible overnight tramps all around the country and meet local kiwis while doing it.
University of Colorado Boulder
As for the “study” part of study abroad, I took classes that interested me including History of New Zealand and Maori Culture and Society. These were enjoyable and helped me immerse myself into the culture even further. Being abroad I learned a lot about myself and my new surroundings — it forced me to grow up, gain independence, and look at the world from a different perspective. I ended my five months of studying, hiking, camping, and adrenaline in Fiji where I was lucky enough to go scuba diving! It’s easy for me to say that studying abroad was, and probably will be the best experience of my life. I would do it again in a heartbeat, and recommend it to anyone who has even a slight interest. As much as I believe everyone should experience the beautiful country of New Zealand, it is definitely not the only place for students to study abroad. In fact, there are nearly 400 CU-Boulder approved study abroad programs in over 73 countries, meaning there is something for everyone! The prices of each program vary, and some even cost less than CUBoulder tuition. It’s ideal for your student to start planning their study abroad experience about one year in advance. This way, your student can figure out what classes he or she should be taking to stay on track with a degree. The first step your student should take if they are thinking about studying abroad is to attend Study Abroad 101. This is a 30-minute presentation that runs daily and gives students information about program types, housing options, financial aid and affordability, major/minor credit, eligibility requirements, the application process, and deadlines. Once your student is committed to the idea of traveling abroad, the CU-Boulder study abroad programs are there from start to finish helping guide your student every step of the way until they are home safely.

Career Services: Job Market
Expanding for New CU Grads
The number of job opportunities for CU-Boulder graduates has continued to outpace the national recovery. Over 3,000 organizations post more than 9,000 opportunities annually with Career Services! Enthusiasm for our graduates has included companies that tend to participate in mass recruiting here — for example coming to career fairs and hoping to identify thirty new hires — as well as those looking to fill just one position. The opportunities cross a variety of industries and most are seeking applicants from a variety of majors. On virtually every measure of economic well-being and career attainment — from personal earnings to job satisfaction to the share employed full time — young college graduates are outperforming their peers with less education. And when today’s young adults are compared with previous generations, the disparity in economic outcomes between college graduates and those with a high school diploma or less formal schooling has never been greater in the modern era. There are a number of reasons that the new college graduates are in demand right now. Generally speaking, the jobs that disappeared in the last few years are gone for good. The jobs emerging in their place require new sets of skills and strengths perfectly suited to new grads. These represent internships and full/part-time opportunities in diverse industries across Colorado, the US, and the world. Last year, organizations recruited from 49 states, plus the D.C., the U.S. Virgin Islands, and international opportunities. According to the Wall Street Journal, employers are also leaning
32
more towards prestigious public school graduates than private school grads, indicating that those students tend to adapt to the workplace environment more easily. Our employer development team spends a great deal of time networking with employers on behalf of our students. In addition to our highly ranked academic programs, the track record of our alumni in various fields keeps these employers coming back for more. Once someone discovers a successful pool of creative, talented, skilled, educated employees, why go anywhere else? That type of success builds on itself, which is why SmartMoney magazine ranked CU-Boulder in the top twenty schools for return on investment, just behind Princeton, but ahead of Harvard, Penn, Yale, and a host of other amazing peers. If you are in a hiring position and would like CU-Boulder internship or full-time candidates, please contact Lisa Lovett at lisa.lovett@colorado.edu or (303) 492-4129.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA, www.noaa.gov) Among the largest of CU-Boulder’s joint institutes is CIRES (the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, cires.colorado.edu), which was established in 1967 from a partnership between the university and NOAA. CIRES scientists conduct research aimed at understanding the Earth, including its atmosphere, waters, solid body, and environment in space. In particular, NOAA’s Earth Systems Research Laboratory (ESRL) in Boulder has established extensive partnerships with university faculty, postdocs, and graduate students. CU’s National Snow and Ice Data Center (nsidc.org) also works closely with the NOAA on studies of sea ice conditions. Including the work at CIRES, it is estimated that about 60 faculty and 240 graduate students and postdocs work closely with counterparts at NOAA.
Federal Laboratory Partners In addition, over the course of 50-plus years, the University has formed research partnerships with national laboratories located in the Boulder area. Collaborative efforts include large joint institutes with hundreds of scientists, as well as University departmental appointments of adjunct faculty from the national laboratories. The national labs also provide numerous internships for undergraduate and graduate students as well as postdoctoral traineeships and fellowships at CU-Boulder.
These cooperative relationships have contributed to the University’s world-renowned research on matters of atmospheric research, science and technology, and environmental research.
36
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, www.nist.gov) Another major joint institute is JILA (jilawww.colorado.edu), created in 1962 as a joint institute of CU-Boulder and NIST. Scientists in JILA explore challenging questions about quantum physics, the design of precision optics and atom lasers, the fundamental nature of matter, biotechnology, nanoscience, and processes that shape the stars and galaxies. The university’s partnership with NIST has been further strengthened through enhanced joint support for undergraduates, graduate students, and postdocs. About 80 faculty and 160 postdocs and students are engaged in regular collaborations with NIST, including the work at JILA.
University of Colorado Boulder
National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR, ncar.ucar.edu) Numerous CU-Boulder faculty and students work closely with counterparts at NCAR in a wide range of studies related to atmospheric and Earth sciences. University-NCAR collaborations include large-scale computational modeling, atmospheric physics, geosciences, high-altitude observations, solar physics, weather modeling, remote sensing and balloon-satellite technology, and solar influences, to name a few. The university also is engaged in discussions with computational science and engineering groups at both NCAR and NOAA related to possible collaborations on high-end, highperformance computing and “gateway� computing for peta-scale supercomputing centers planned in Wyoming. Numerous CU-Boulder faculty work closely with NCAR scientists, and about 40 university postdocs and graduate students conduct a majority of their research at NCAR. University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR, www2.ucar.edu/about-us) NCAR is managed by UCAR, a nonprofit consortium of 73 research universities and institutions, on behalf of the National Science Foundation and the university community. Located in Boulder, UCAR has several projects involving CU-Boulder faculty and graduate students.

37
National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL, www.nrel.gov)
United States Geological Survey (USGS, www.usgs.gov)
The university promotes its strong interest in renewable energy through collaborations with NREL in Golden, Colorado. In fact, CU-Boulder is a major partner in the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, which was selected in 2008 as the management contractor for NREL. CUBoulder and other members of the alliance are engaged in basic and applied science as well as translational efforts to develop third-generation solar photovoltaics, solar photoconversion, concentrated solar technology, biofuels, biorefining, wind energy, and carbon sequestration techniques, among many others.
In other collaborations with national labs, the university is working with USGS to expand its presence on the East Campus, leading to as many as 80 additional USGS scientists and staff on the campus. Headquarters for the National Ecological Observation Network, an NSF center, have been moved from the Washington, DC area to Boulder, with plans for joint graduate education, high-end computing, joint faculty hires, and adjunct professor appointments at the university.
