University of Colorado at Boulder Chancellor G.P. "Bud" Peterson and his wife Valerie will join about 60 freshmen Sept. 12 to help clean up Bear Creek near the Williams Village residence halls.
Participants will gather at Darley Commons at 4 p.m., pick up supplies and walk to the creek behind Williams Village at about 4:15 p.m. Cleanup activities will go on until about 5:30 p.m.
The students are members of the Ethnic Living and Learning Community within the Chancellor's Leadership Residential Academic Program. Also assisting in the cleanup will be Carol Miyagishima, director of the Chancellor's Leadership program, and Loretta Wahl, program coordinator for the Ethnic Living and Learning Community.
The project is being done in partnership with the city of Boulder Parks and Recreation Department's Adopt-A-Creek program.
