Get ready for the Bolder��Vlog�ƽ��: Training tips for students Valerie Padilla Thu, 03/13/2025 - 09:25

The Bolder��Vlog�ƽ�� is not just any race—it’s an iconic 10K event with community spirit. Whether you’re new to running or it’s a regular hobby, the Bolder��Vlog�ƽ�� is a longstanding tradition that’s open to everyone. Participating in the Bolder��Vlog�ƽ�� offers a chance to bond with peers, enjoy the festive atmosphere and create lasting memories.

With the Bolder��Vlog�ƽ�� scheduled for May 26 this year, now is a great time to start training! Here are some tips to help you prepare for the race.

Start early

Starting your training early is especially important if you’re new to running. Annie Sirotniak, a physical therapist in Medical Services, says runners should “gradually build up [their] duration, frequency and intensity.” Starting early will help you to ease into a running program and avoid injuries, which commonly result from doing “too much, too hard, too often,” according to Sirotniak.

If you’re not sure how to begin a training program, consider using an app such as Couch to 10K (available on Android and Apple) or the Live Strong 10K for Beginners plan. The Rec Center also offers a Running Foundations small group training program to help Buffs discover the joy of running with tips on performance and motivation.

Switch it up

While it may seem contradictory, running shouldn’t be the only form of training you do for a race. In fact, it’s important to “use cross-training as a supplement to race training,” according to athletic trainers at the Recreation Injury Care Center (RICC).

Cross-training can look different for everyone depending on what types of activities you enjoy. In between running sessions, try to incorporate other activities such as swimming, weight training or cycling. This type of cross-training can help improve your strength and flexibility when it’s time for the big race.

See a physical therapist

Consider scheduling a visit with a physical therapist before you start your program. Getting a full assessment of your lower extremity and hip strength can help guide your training and maximize your results. A physical therapist will also be able to provide you with tips for cross-training and recovery exercises.

Physical therapy appointments are available to students on campus at Wardenburg Health Center.

Shoes matter

It’s important your running shoes fit properly to avoid discomfort and possible injuries. Running shoes should provide both cushioning and support. Be sure you have the right size shoes to allow your toes to spread when running.

If your shoes are getting old, they may need to be replaced. The Recreation Injury Care Center advises runners to replace their shoes every 300–500 miles.

Ask for support

If you’re looking for a little extra motivation, ask for support. Whether you have a regular training buddy or invite your friends to come watch your race, having someone to cheer you on can make all the difference between a good race and a great one.

You can also find support through on-campus resources:

Personal and partner training available through the Rec Center
Physical therapy available through Medical Services at Wardenburg
Check out student organizations on BuffConnect related to running, recreation and wellness.

Simple ways to be more sustainable Anonymous (not verified) Tue, 02/18/2025 - 10:43

Environmental Center

At CU ��Vlog�ƽ��, sustainability is not just a buzzword—it's a lifestyle. Our campus has a long history of student-led sustainability efforts, starting with the founding of the Environmental Center in 1970.

Looking to be more sustainable this year? Join the Sustainable Buffs Community to get tips and connect with like-minded students. Here are some ways to get started and opportunities to get involved.

Limit food waste

About a third of all food in the U.S. is wasted. When eating at dining centers, take only what you plan to eat. At home, prioritize eating perishable food and plan meals around what you have. Apps like Mealime or Paprika can help you with meal planning.

Eat more plant-based meals

Even one day a week of plant-based meals makes a difference! Check out Meatless Monday recipes for affordable and healthy ideas. CU ��Vlog�ƽ�� has also been recognized as No. 1 for plant-based dining and sustainability—use Nutrislice to find vegetarian/vegan options in dining centers.

Recycle and compost

CU ��Vlog�ƽ�� makes recycling and composting easy with bins and guides around campus. Learn what items to recycle or compost and follow your neighborhood's guidelines if you live off campus.

Reduce plastic use

Switch to reusable items like water bottles, travel mugs and shopping bags to keep plastic out of landfills. Look for quality items that you enjoy using daily, like a bamboo toothbrush instead of a plastic one.

Get involved

CU ��Vlog�ƽ�� is a place where you can live and connect in a community of like-minded individuals striving to create a better world. Here are a few ways you can get more involved this semester:

Take the Sustainable Buff Pledge and join fellow students dedicated to sustainable choices.

Check out upcoming events at the Environmental Center.

Consider joining the Applied Sustainability Learning Hub.

Participate in the Student Ideas Showcase as part of the Campus Sustainability Summit this April 22nd & 23rd, 2025.

Volunteer with Ralphie’s Green Stampede and other opportunities through the E-Center.

3 tips to make new friends this semester

3 tips to make new friends this semester Anonymous (not verified) Fri, 02/07/2025 - 00:00

There are plenty of opportunities each semester to meet new people on campus—no matter where you are in your academic journey. However you choose to get involved, your interactions at events and through programs may lead to friendships. Here are a few tips for making new friends this year.

1. Make the first move

One strategy to try this semester is to commit to making the first move. Try to be the first one to introduce yourself when you meet someone new over the next few weeks. Breaking the ice can help pave the way for fun conversations and new friendships.

Here are a few places where you can try out this strategy:

Your residence hall or neighborhood
You never know what you might have in common with your floormates or neighbors! Whether you live on or off campus, make it a goal to connect with someone new each day. Ask them to join you for dinner, walk to class or check out a campus event or an event in your residence hall together.

Student events
Events like Buffalo Nites, Free Friday Power Hour, Buffs After Dark and Queer Cheer are great for socializing and getting to know others. Introduce yourself to those around you, ask where they are from and what their favorite class is this semester.

Extracurricular activities
Depending on what you do with your time outside of class, there are many other ways to make friends. Consider joining a student organization, working on campus or volunteering. If you meet someone new and hit it off, ask if they want to hang out later.

2. Find Buffs with similar interests or hobbies

Finding your community can help you feel more comfortable at a large university like CU ��Vlog�ƽ��. With student organizations, programs and events that are specific to different groups and interests, there are many ways to connect with Buffs around things you have in common.

Review these options to meet others with similar hobbies and interests. Also, don’t hesitate to try something new! College is a great time to discover new passions and explore your identity.

3. Give it time

Building friendships can take time but know that you can take small steps each day to find your community. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you pursue friendships:

Focus on the positives: When meeting new people, look for things you have in common. This could include personality traits, hobbies, shared experiences or humor.
Make time to socialize: Focusing on academics is important, and you can take breaks to attend events and spend time with others.
Keep trying: It can take time to find friends that you connect with more deeply. It’s OK if you have friends that you only see in class or when you visit the Rec Center at first. These interactions can still be a highlight in your day and might become closer friendships over time.

Career Services

Now is an excellent time to start thinking about what you can do this spring and summer for your future career success. Employers are looking for applicants who have demonstrated their skills through internships, relevant experiential projects and certifications. These experiences can also help you understand your future career goals—what you want out of a job and who you want to work for. Here are some opportunities to enhance your resume and gain professional experience during your time at CU ��Vlog�ƽ��.

Find an internship

Internship experience is the most influential factor for employers when hiring, according to a job outlook survey by NACE. This type of experience shows employers that you have direct experience applying your skills. As a CU student, you can access exceptional resources to find internships, including Handshake, internship credits and internship programs.

Handshake makes it easy to find and apply to internships, many of which aren’t posted anywhere else. Check out these curated Handshake search tips for your major.
Internships offer unique opportunities to gain real-world experience, develop new skills and make meaningful connections. Explore experiences like CU in D.C., Education Abroad, the CU Public Interest Internship Experience and more to find the right fit for your goals.

Companies like Red Bull, The New York Times, Bank of America and more host great job simulations for CU students on Forage.

How to navigate campus life as an introvert

How to navigate campus life as an introvert Emily Sampl Wed, 01/29/2025 - 00:00

Whether you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert, you have options each semester to get involved, find support and connect with others in ways that work for you.

Introverted people tend to prefer socializing in small groups or one-on-one, with a preference for alone time as well. Even though CU ��Vlog�ƽ�� is a large university, introverts can take advantage of opportunities tailored for them to meet fellow Buffs and get involved on campus. Here are some tips to navigate your college experience as an introvert.

Schedule social time and downtime

Just like you would plan your study sessions, intentionally plan time each week to connect with others. Make plans to get coffee with a friend or call a family member to catch up. You can also plan to attend smaller student events on campus that allow you to meet others, like DIY Nights, Queers and Cakes or CU in the Community. Humans are social animals and regular connection with others is great for your well-being!

Additionally, be intentional about planning downtime for yourself. If you recognize that you need alone time to recharge, build that into your schedule. After socializing, you might benefit from walking, playing video games or reading a book. It’s OK to say ‘no’ to plans with others sometimes and take time to rest.

Adapt to crowded situations

Whether it’s large class sizes, networking events or popular fitness classes, getting to know others in a smaller group setting may not always be an option.

Fortunately, there are often ways you can navigate crowded situations:

Attend your professor’s office hours outside class to ask questions or get help with coursework.
Set up informational interviews to network professionally in a one-on-one setting.
Visit busy spots on campus outside of peak hours, like the Rec Center or C4C Dining Center.
Take breaks at large campus events, like career fairs or involvement fairs. It’s OK to leave and come back!

Find quiet spaces on campus

If you need somewhere to hang out between classes or study without others around, there are many options for introverts. Review this list of study spots on campus to check out, and keep these tips in mind:

You can reserve study rooms with University Libraries.
Conference rooms in the C4C are available on a first-come, first-served basis after 5 p.m.
Classrooms can be used as study spots when not in use for classes or evening events.

Check out student resources

Find support with getting involved on campus:

Center for Student Involvement
Join student organizations, find leadership opportunities and learn about other ways to get involved at the Center for Student Involvement.

Volunteer Resource Center
Volunteering can help you learn new skills, gain experience, make a difference and meet people with similar passions.

Center for Inclusion and Social Change
The center offers programs, events and resources to promote inclusion and nurture identity development, diversity, equity and social justice.

Fraternity and Sorority Life

The spring semester is a great opportunity to explore different ways to get involved. If you’re looking for something new to join, consider Greek life to find a welcoming community on campus.

With Fraternity & Sorority Life Spring Recruitment and Intake happening this January, you can meet new friends and join a supportive network in ��Vlog�ƽ��.

Find your on-campus family

Greek life offers a sense of belonging like a family. Members form lifelong friendships within their chapters, sharing interests and diverse experiences.

Discover a community that pushes you to grow

Greek life members support each other academically, professionally and socially. They help ease the transition to college through study programs, mentoring and recognition.

Leadership roles, conferences and committee involvement offer personal growth opportunities. Participation in campus activities—both social events and community service—provides new experiences.

Know that you have a dedicated support system

Greek life can make the large campus feel smaller and more manageable. Even if you don't join the same chapter as others you meet during recruitment, you'll have a network of support across all Fraternity & Sorority Life councils. Greek life helps you connect throughout the CU ��Vlog�ƽ�� community and build a solid support system.

Participate in spring recruitment and intake

While most CU ��Vlog�ƽ�� chapters recruit in the fall, some sororities and fraternities hold continuous open bidding in the spring. This is a more informal way to get involved.

Multicultural Greek Council and National Pan-Hellenic Council intake new members all year round. Fill out the following interest forms if you would like to learn more about those councils or join a chapter.

5 tips for commuting to campus

Emily Sampl — Tue, 07 Jan 2025 23:00:50 +0000

5 tips for commuting to campus Emily Sampl Tue, 01/07/2025 - 16:00

Off-Campus Housing & Neighborhood Relations

Whether you live two or 20 miles from campus, here are some tips to help you navigate winter weather and the spring semester.

Explore transportation options

All enrolled CU students can use their Buff OneCard to access RTD bus and rail routes. Learn more about how to ride the bus or find a park-n-ride near you. Download the Transit app for routes and real-time transit information to stay informed if there are delays or cancellations due to weather.

With many sunny and warm days during Colorado winters, commuting by bike can also be an option for getting around campus and ��Vlog�ƽ��. If you plan to use your bike on campus, register it at one of the bike stations. Registering your bike gives you free access to the campus bike stations, including bike maintenance assistance. ��Vlog�ƽ��'s bike-sharing program, BCycle, offers electric assist bikes around town, including locations near many bus stops. As a student, you get a free BCycle membership through the Environmental Center—learn more about activating your membership.

Know about weather closures or delays

Our campus may experience delays or closures due to inclement weather. Students receive email notifications through the campus alert system, and you can add your phone number in Buff Portal to get CU Alerts by text message.

Navigating transportation issues as a commuting student can occasionally interfere with class schedules. If you're delayed, contact your professors as soon as you know you’ll be late or miss class. Explain your situation and ask about ways to make up for missed work.

Stay safe driving in snowy conditions

Road safety is crucial as winter approaches, especially in snowy and icy conditions. If you’re driving to campus, here are some tips to stay safe:

Stay informed: Check weather and traffic reports before leaving and consider alternative routes if necessary. If you’re traveling on major highways or interstates, check COTrip for updates on road closures and other changes.
Slow down: Roads can be slippery, so give yourself extra time to get where you’re going. Reducing speed increases your control on icy patches.
Keep your distance: Allow more space between your vehicle and others as braking distances increase on slick roads.
Pack an emergency kit: Include items like blankets, a flashlight, jumper cables and non-perishable snacks in case of unexpected delays.

Check out campus dining options

With 16 on-campus dining locations, you have many options for meals or snacks between classes. Download the Nutrislice app or use the Nutrislice website to view menus and filter for allergens, dietary restrictions and preferences.

On-campus dining locations accept Campus Cash and credit or debit cards. Block Meal Plans are available with different numbers of meals per semester to all students living off campus and in Bear Creek or Graduate and Family Housing.

For more tips, review our complete guide to eating on campus.

Join the Beyond Campus Buffs community

Depending on your schedule, you may have downtime between classes or other commitments on campus. Beyond Campus Buffs offers monthly events and resources for undergraduate students living off campus.

The Commuter Lounge in the University Memorial Center (UMC) offers students who travel to campus access to free amenities, including:

Free coffee
Printing
Refrigerator access
Microwave access
Lockers
