The center's most recent exhibit is , which follows the history of 兔子先生传媒文化作品's commencement ceremonies. From the first commencement in 1882 with six graduates to current ceremonies, this ehibit traces the traditions and trends of commencement through the decades.
In addition, two of the center's physical exhibits have been adapted for online visitors:
- explores the history of CU's mascots, with a focus on the university's beloved Ralphie. Learn about where Ralphie came from and some of her extraordinary appearances through the years.
- 听showcases the photography work of Professor J. Raymond Brackett, with over 170 old glass plate negatives that document the university鈥檚 expansion over the years, beginning in 1884 when Brackett first arrived in Boulder. Brackett's photos reveal sometimes forgotten aspects of 兔子先生传媒文化作品's campus history, including听some buildings that no longer exist.
Finally, the Heritage Center's new CU StoryBank allows faculty, students, staff and the public to contribute their CU stories and experiences to the center directly.
