- You can join the CU Parents Association Board, a dedicated group of parents who volunteer to support a variety of programs and events that enrich the student experience at a higher level at CU-Boulder.
- You can nominate a faculty or staff member for the Marinus Smith Award or a student for the CU Proud Award to show your support of continued excellence at CU-Boulder.
