About
Come out to help celebrate the class of 2023 at Grad Bash!
Grad Bash is a celebration for graduating students, featuring free food and refreshments, a DJ and photo opportunities. Hosted on the lawn of the Koenig Alumni Center, this CU tradition is the perfect way for graduates to enjoy their time together in the days leading up to Commencement.
We are looking for lots of volunteers to help with setup, event support and teardown at this end-of semester event for students. It will be a fun, celebratory environment and a way to show your support for graduates.
Email alumnivolunteers@colorado.edu with any questions.
