Vanessa Lopez (EthnicSt, Mgmt’09) has been involved with the Forever Buffs Latinx club since 2017. She most enjoys the friendships she’s made with other members. 

“Being able to reconnect with fellow Latinx Buffs and leading the way for future Latinx Buffs has been a great way to re-engage with the CU community,” she said. 

She wants other alumni to get involved too. Several CU chapters and affinity-based clubs are located around the country. The groups hold events such as football and basketball watch parties, volunteering opportunities and networking events. Leadership opportunities are also available for the organizations and can involve being part of a board, reviewing scholarship applications or volunteering at events. 

“I have loved leading the Washington, D.C., chapter because it has introduced my wife Kristen (Psych’92) and me to Forever Buffs of all ages — from 22 to 82 — and has allowed us to build a community in the D.C. metro area that also includes students, parents and friends of CU,” said Dale Farrand (AeroEngr’93), who has been a part of the D.C. chapter since 2015 and served as its leader for nearly 3 years. 

The ����������ý�Ļ���Ʒ Alumni Association offers planning and event support to chapters and clubs. Find out more about getting involved here.
