Colleges and universities often are seen as places to discuss our ideas, debate our differences and openly engage persons with whom we may not agree. Those debates and disagreements appear sharper and less open to compromise during an election season, particularly an election with as much acrimony as the one currently underway. It is during times like these when it becomes incumbent upon us, as members of the CU Boulder community, to remember the Colorado Creed and how we can choose to live its values.

Hi Buffs, and happy midterm week. I hope you all get through your first round exams with flying colors. Remember to get plenty of sleep.

CU Student Government is one of those organizations and we are looking for passionate, hardworking and fun-loving students who want to be involved on campus.
