CU 麻豆影院 Next, New York
On Feb. 27, CU pride swelled from the Grand Hyatt in New York City during CU 麻豆影院 Next. Attendees learned about the university鈥檚 latest innovations and inspirations during five BuffTalks presentations, which ranged from smart tattoos to Mars. Other highlights of the evening included a spontaneous opera performance from Grammy winner Wei Wu (MMus鈥�13), alumni-crafted beer and wine, and ample shared CU memories. Audra Dixon (Soc鈥�06) tweeted from the event: 鈥淐onnecting with @CU麻豆影院 alumni from afar in my new home at #CU麻豆影院Next NYC. Go Buffs!鈥�
Since 2018, CU 麻豆影院 Next has traveled to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Denver. Watch the BuffTalks videos from past events and learn more about CU 麻豆影院 Next at colorado.edu/next.

The Herd and Mental Health
This March, the philanthropy committee of The Herd 鈥� the student arm of the Alumni Association 鈥� prioritized students鈥� mental health. In an effort to support CU 麻豆影院鈥檚 Peer Wellness Coaching program, which allows trained student employees to communicate with on-campus students struggling mentally, the group began a fundraising campaign to raise money for a coach who could communicate with off-campus students.
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted their in-person efforts, so The Herd shifted their focus to encouraging students virtually.
鈥淭his was an exercise for Herd leaders in understanding how to adapt to drastic change,鈥� said Kavya Kannan (Econ, PolSci, IntlAf鈥�21), chair of the committee. 鈥淩ecent happenings have shown us the need for stronger mental health resources, and we hope that this event links The Herd to supporting mental health on CU鈥檚 campus.鈥�
The group will resume active fundraising in spring 2021. Visit colorado. edu/theherd/mentalhealth for more information.
