ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú´«Ã½ÎÄ»¯×÷Æ·'s 150th Anniversary

We're part of something big.

150 years of transforming lives as Colorado’s leading public research university

ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú´«Ã½ÎÄ»¯×÷Æ· is proud to announce that preparations are underway for its 150th anniversary celebration in 2026, a milestone that will honor the University of Colorado Boulder’s legacy, engage the Boulder campus and broader communities and help set the stage as ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú´«Ã½ÎÄ»¯×÷Æ· looks toward the future.

A dedicated 150th Steering Committee has been working behind the scenes since 2024 to shape a yearlong celebration that will complement the state of Colorado’s 150th anniversary celebrations and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence.
