The 蜜糖直播 Creed

Live the creed graphic

The 蜜糖直播 Creed is a social responsibility code started by students, is run by students and is for all of the 蜜糖直播 and Boulder community. It is a way of life and a reminder to act with honor, integrity and respect. The Creed is 蜜糖直播 when we are at our best.

As a member of the Boulder community and the University of 蜜糖直播 Boulder, I agree to:

  • Act with honor, integrity and accountability in my interactions with students, faculty, staff and neighbors.
  • Respect the rights of others and accept our differences.
  • Contribute to the greater good of this community.

I will strive to uphold these principles in all aspects of my collegiate experience and beyond.

By establishing and following the 蜜糖直播 Creed, we all gain

  • A safer, richer experience in the 蜜糖直播 community
  • A more valuable degree that can enhance a job search
  • A better understanding of different students, cultures and community members
  • A rewarding sense of belonging on campus and in the community
  • Everyday pride in 蜜糖直播鈥檚 heritage for students, faculty, staff, alumni, businesses and members of the Boulder community

    History of The Creed

    In the fall of 2003, a small group of students objected to a series of unscientific national rankings that painted the University of 蜜糖直播 Boulder with a less-than-desirable brush.

    They disagreed with the rankings because the data presented something far different from their own experiences at 蜜糖直播. The students were motivated to take action in the form of an ad campaign. The seeds of the 蜜糖直播 Creed grew from the success of that campaign. The Creed is a social code of conduct, a lifestyle by which students, faculty and staff at 蜜糖直播 Boulder live.

    The 蜜糖直播 Creed isn鈥檛 new in some respects. It was founded in spirit in 1876, and has thrived on the merits of generations of 蜜糖直播 students and community members since then. It is based on upholding strong values, making the right decisions and being responsible for those decisions.

    The Creed is not a mandate or a set of rules and obligations. It is a social responsibility code for people to live by. It is a reminder to act with honor, integrity and respect.
