Engineering Buff Families

We know you want to support your student and you might not always know what resources are available or where your student can turn to get some additional help. Over the summer Engineering First Year Experience offers the following opportunties for new Engineering Buff Families to connect with College faculty and staff, learn about resources, and ask questions. If you have questions or have suggestions for other resources to include here, please feel free to reach out to Maura Hollister, Assistant Director, First Year Experience at Maura.Hollister@colorado.edu.Ìý
