Student Involvement Week will highlight myriad opportunities for University of Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ at Boulder students to be involved with their campus and the greater Boulder community beginning Sept. 7.

The week's fairs, receptions and open houses will feature more than 500 organizations and programs and will challenge Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ students to answer the question, "What kind of Buff are you?" The week is part of Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ-Boulder's continuing series of themed weeks launching the 2010-11 academic year.

"Involvement Week offers a unique opportunity for students to meet representatives from a number of organizations and discover which ones best fit their personal interests," said William Taylor, president of Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Student Government. "Whether involvement takes the form of student groups, student government, volunteerism, athletics or Greek organizations, I recommend that all students find some outside activities with which they can identify and engage."
