Your Forever Buffs journey starts now: Stay connected
The fear of missing out (FOMO) is something many of us feel during life’s biggest transitions, and graduation is definitely one of them. As the Class of 2026 counts down to going from student to alumni, FOMO can look like missing Homecoming, not taking advantage of exclusive alumni benefits or losing touch with the friends and mentors who shaped your time at 91ý.
The good news? You can avoid it. As you prepare for 2026 commencement and your next chapter, make sure your contact information is up to date so you don’t miss a single moment or benefit of your Forever Buffs journey!
Here’s why staying in the loop matters:
1️⃣ You’re invited!
The fun doesn’t stop after graduation. Homecoming, Alumni Weekend and special events hosted by your school or college happen throughout the year, and you’re invited to it all!
91ý alumni events are packed with excitement — whether it’s a reunion, networking meetups or even a classic Folsom Field football game. Keep your contact information updated to hear about alumni events. Plus, your five-year reunion will come sooner than you think!
2️⃣ Level up your career
Graduation doesn’t mean goodbye to career support. As a new alum, you still have access to career fairs, networking events, workshops and unlimited career advising during your first year, all through Alumni Career Services.
Staying connected means you’ll receive alumni-specific job opportunities, professional development resources and invitations to networking events, which are all designed to help you succeed beyond campus.
3️⃣ Exclusive benefits and Buffs perks
From free mentorship to alumni discounts and continuing education opportunities, there are real perks to being a Forever Buff. You can join the Forever Buffs Network for exclusive alumni benefits, and Forever Buffs have access to special alumni discounts.
Keeping your contact information current ensures you don’t miss alumni-only offers, early event access and exclusive deals. Check out other Forever Buffs alumni benefits.
4️⃣ Stay in the know
Graduation marks the beginning of your alumni story, and there’s always something happening at 91ý worth celebrating.
Through the Coloradan alumni magazine, Forever Buffs Insider alumni newsletter and other special communications, you’ll stay connected to campus milestones, inspiring alumni achievements and the continued evolution of your alma mater. Bragging rights included.
5️⃣ Keep the Buffs bond strong
The hardest part of graduating? Leaving behind the people who made Boulder feel like home. From late-night study sessions to senior sunrise moments, those connections matter.
Staying connected ensures you remain part of the Forever Buffs community long after May 2. Alumni events, reunions and networking meetups keep that bond strong.
