At her time at ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ Audrea served two terms with University of Colorado Student Government, the most autonomous student union in the United States.

She primarily focused her advocacy and research on undocumented students, BIPOC students, transfer students, first-generation students, and parent students. In her second term she served as the Director of Diversity and Inclusion. Her main goal in this role was to organize and develop resource allocation strategies dedicated to providing representation, advocacy, and support for the entirety of the student body, by centralizing the lived experiences of underrepresented student populations on the ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ campus.

Among her various achievements at ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ, Audrea Fryar was a 2020-2021 Martin Luther King Scholarship Recipient. She also was the founder of the Multicultural Advisory Commission.

Audrea was a key player in the team that implemented the Swipe It Forward Program that was aimed at combating food insecurity on the ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ Campus and greater Boulder community.  Audrea also sat on the Cultural Events Board during her senior year. Outside of academics and advocacy, Audrea was a four-year member of the D1 CU Women's Rugby Team.
