For the past 136 years, CU has upheld traditions to connect its students and create a community on campus.

Last week, the class of 2016, like many before it, participated in the annual celebration “The Big Five.” The event included convocation, Ice and Dice, Global Jam, Welcomefest and the Welcome Back Concert.

CU Insight caught up with Justin Lutsch, class of 2016, and Vanessa Dunn, class of 2004, to find out what they had to say about being a freshman at CU.
