Be Involved Fair

Join the Center for Student Involvement (CSI) and Volunteer Resource Center (VRC) for our Be Involved Fair and learn more about getting involved on campus and in the Boulder community!

What is the Be Involved Fair?

The Be Involved Fair is a signature Fall Welcome event at CU Boulder designed to connect new and returning students with involvement opportunities on campus and in the community. This event celebrates involvement and kicks off the new academic year with a fresh start of exploring interests and making connections!

When and where is the Be Involved Fair? The event will take place the first week of classes during Fall Welcome on Wednesday, Aug. 28 from 2-6 p.m. MT on Farrand Field on CU Boulder central campus.

New this year: Adaptive bikes will be available for attendees to get around more easily on Farrand Field—brought to you by the Volunteer Resource Center and Disability Services.
