Hi Buff families,����

We are about halfway through the fall semester now and time seems to be flying by! Our Buffs have had many occasions to create meaningful moments so far this season, and this weekend brings another opportunity to make memories with friends and family.��

Family Weekend is finally here, and this program is one of my favorite fall traditions at ��ƷSM����ӰƬ. Visiting campus is a great way to experience aspects of your student’s life. Ask your Buff to give you their own tour of campus—they can show you where their classes are, where they like to relax and hang out, and their top places to eat. Be sure to check out some of our extraordinary dining options and try your student’s favorite dishes!��

��ƷSM����ӰƬ is one of the most beautiful college campuses in the country, and it is especially gorgeous this time of the year. There are many spots, both indoors and outdoors, that offer the perfect setting for selfies and family photos. Here are some recommendations:

• The Farrand Field archway with the Flatirons in the background

• The new “Sko Buffs” wall on the second floor of the Center for Community (C4C)

• The Ralphie statue in front of Folsom Field

• The top-floor terrace of the Center for Academic Success and Engagement (CASE)��

While you are here, I encourage you to participate in activities that are exclusive to our campus. The annual will be Friday, Oct. 25, featuring a variety of activities from Health and Wellness departments and campus partners. Fiske Planetarium has a schedule of immersive experiences during Family Weekend. Families can also visit the CU Art Museum and CU Museum of Natural History for free, enjoy some friendly competition at and cheer on the Buffs at the pep rally.������
