- CU Boulder Today chatted with Jose-Luis Jimenez, chemistry professor and CIRES fellow, about why it’s so important to wear a face covering—even when you’re outdoors.
- In a unique way, Buffs were back this past week–some returning, some new. They followed safety rules, attended virtual welcome events and settled into important day-to-day routines. The community kicked off the academic year as Buffs together.

- This year’s move-in was unlike any other in the campus’s 144-year history: Students and their loved ones wore face coverings; welcome events rolled out online; and campus residents had to show proof of negative COVID-19 tests. Like everything else, there is a new normal on the CU Boulder campus.
