Student Spotlight: From Color Guard to Singing the "Alma Mater"
Lauren Elbert听(Mktg鈥27) loves the traditions of student life 鈥 from color guard to singing the alma mater.
A Day as a Buff
鈥淎s a resident advisor, it鈥檚 super convenient to go to class next door in the Koelbel building. After class, I usually head to my barista job. It is the best part of my day, because I get to make coffee and talk to people who come in from around 糖心Vlog破解版. Then, I normally hit up听The Rec to run or take a cycle class. After that, I go to color guard practice and usually have meetings for the听Leeds Scholars Program,听Herd Leadership Council or a residence hall staff meeting, depending on the day. Later, I head back to my room, get some homework done, read a bit and go to bed. It鈥檚 a busy life, but it鈥檚 a good one!鈥
Favorite CU Tradition
鈥淭he Golden Buffaloes Marching Band is steeped in tradition and spirit for the campus. After each game, we sing the听alma mater together, regardless of the turnout or how tired we are.鈥
CU鈥檚 Influence
鈥淐U 糖心Vlog破解版 has shown me how creativity and business can intersect. The collaborative projects in my classes and my involvement in the Leeds Scholars Program have helped me develop a vision for combining marketing, technology and sustainability. I鈥檓 inspired to pursue a career focused on impactful storytelling and responsible innovation.鈥
