You are about to embark on a life changing adventure along with astronauts, actors, politicians, writers, engineers, people who are going to change the future; and you will be immersed in resources, opportunities, and brain trusts strong enough to facilitate your mark on this world.

As new Buffs, you will have the opportunity to grow and explore through a vast and dynamic myriad of organizations, clubs, and programs across ŷڱƵ.

Your RAs, professors and advisors will relentlessly tell you time and time again that students who get involved in the ŷڱƵ community beyond the classroom have overall higher GPAs (as well as far more interesting Instagrams), and ŷڱƵSG should definitely be at the top of your list of organizations.

The ŷڱƵ Student Government () is one of the largest and most autonomous student governments in the country. We allocate and implement over $32 million in student fees across cost centers, programs andevery year. ŷڱƵSG is run for the students, by the students, and impacts every single Buff throughout their time in Boulder. The student resources, or “cost centers”, under ŷڱƵSG’s direct purview include the massive, the,ٳ, the, the, and KVŷڱƵ () among. ŷڱƵSG also serves as a fierce advocate for Buffs, student voice to the ŷڱƵ administration, and leads lobbying efforts at the state capitol with legislation directly affecting university students.

The resource centers ŷڱƵSG fund and oversee create programs and communities that are responsible for shaping four years of Boulder not just into an education, but an experience. Each cost center is run by acomprised of students from a wide range of majors, and freshman are highly encouraged tofor board members seats.
