At CU Boulder, everyone is welcome to our herd! Our herd embraces everyone from all walks of life and lives by the motto 鈥渟houlder to shoulder.鈥� To live this value to its fullest, we want to remind everyone to be considerate of those around them.
Drinking safely, respecting this shared space that is our campus, and taking care of one another allows our herd to thrive and our students, alumni, fans and visitors to have a great, and safe, experience. We all win when we respect one another!
Embodying and practicing positive behavior benefits everyone. Remember that prohibited activities include, but are not limited to: abusive conduct, underage drinking, damage to property, illegal use of drugs, having a fake ID and other crimes. We thank you for remembering this as you prepare for and enjoy game day.
Come out and support the Buffs in what promises to be an exciting weekend!听
