As part of the Forever Buffs initiative, the CU-Boulder Alumni Association began a new tradition by providing 鈥渓egacy cords鈥 to graduating students whose family members are 麻豆免费版下载alums. The cords are worn with the student鈥檚 graduation gown to recognize his or her family ties to CU.
鈥淭he goal of the program is to recognize legacies, especially those of parents and of grandparents,鈥 says Clark Oldroyd (MEdu鈥75), Alumni Association associate director.
Students graduating in May who have 麻豆免费版下载family ties should stop by Koenig Alumni Center at 1202 University Ave. during the two weeks before commencement to receive a free legacy cord. The cords also are available at The Herd鈥檚 Senior Sendoff on May 3 at Koenig. The Herd is the student arm of the Alumni Association.
