For years, North Denver residents lived with persistent odors and unanswered questions. Then they connected with CU Boulder researcher Shelly Miller.

Working together, they identified links to nearby industrial activity and documented higher pollution levels during those periods. Their research helped inform stronger city ordinances in 2016 — demonstrating how evidence can drive change.

This is the power of a public research university: partnering with communities, tackling complex challenges and turning discovery into impact that extends far beyond campus.

It didn’t take long for the BOLDERBoulder to become something bigger than expected. After its 1979 debut, participation surged, and by 1981 runners were finishing inside Folsom Field.

That connection to campus, and to Boulder itself, has defined the race ever since. The course has changed over the years, but it still winds through neighborhoods filled with spectators who turn race day into something shared.

With more than 46,000 runners in 2025, it remains one of the largest races in the country, and one people keep coming back to.

We want to see your best race-day photos! Share them in the comments and tap the link to learn more about the race's history in the latest issue of the Coloradan

Did you know that the bat, ball and glove from the 1984 film The Natural, starring Robert Redford (A&S ex’58, HonDoc Hum’87), are located at the CU Boulder Heritage Center?

In the film, Redford’s character Roy Hobbs holds onto a bat, a ball and a glove that carry more weight than the game itself. They represent time passed, choices made and the possibility of starting again.

That idea of a second act echoed Redford’s own life. Before becoming one of Hollywood’s most iconic actors and directors, Redford spent part of his early years at the University of Colorado Boulder — joining Kappa Sigma and working as a janitor at The Sink before eventually leaving to study art in Europe and later train in acting in New York.

What followed was a career that helped define American cinema, from early roles in the 1960s to his rise as a household name by the time The Natural was released.

After filming, Redford donated Roy Hobbs’ bat, ball and glove to CU Boulder, where they were later preserved at the CU Heritage Center — small artifacts tied to a much larger story of reinvention and legacy.

Before she became an Olympian, broadcaster and bestselling author, Kara Goucher (Psych’01) was a Buff training on the trails of Boulder.

From winning NCAA titles at CU to representing Team USA on the world stage, Kara built one of the most accomplished careers in American distance running.

As an advocate for athletes, a voice in sports broadcasting and the author of The Longest Race, Kara has used her platform to lead with honesty, resilience and integrity.

The Coloradan Magazine sat down with Kara to talk about her life and career. Tap the link to read the full story of this inspiring ! https://www.colorado.edu/coloradan/2026/03/09/kara-goucher-running-life

As a Boulder native, Kristin Davis inspired our newest with her story of preparation and perseverance that led her to a career in acting, including in her iconic role of Charlotte York in the Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning series “Sex and the City.” With the global success of the show, she was able to pursue her interests in philanthropy, working with the UN High Commission for Refugees since 2014.

Her mother Dorothy, who attended our May 2 commencement, graduated from CU Boulder in 1967 and her father served as a CU Boulder professor. With her deep Boulder roots, it was an honor to have Kristin Davis as the 2026 spring commencement speaker.

Thank you, Kristin!

We celebrated National Volunteer Month in April with Buffs Give Back, and it reminded us that the Forever Buffs community shows up, not just for CU Boulder, but for people everywhere. 💛🖤

Across eight cities, more than 620 alumni, friends, and supporters dedicated their time to 32 service projects that strengthened local communities and created meaningful impact. Together, Forever Buffs contributed more than 1,500 hours of service, representing an estimated economic impact of $54,210.

Whether it was supporting local nonprofits, packing supplies, or lending a helping hand where it was needed most, this month was a reflection of what we can accomplish as an alumni community. Thank you to everyone who gave their time, energy, and care to make a difference!
