This Saturday, the Class of 2020 began their 30-day countdown to the start of their college careers… which means it is only three weeks until Move-In 2016. Have you made your plans for this year’s event?</div>

<p>Excitement for the Olympics in Rio is building for ����ֱ�� alumni Jenny Simpson and Emma Coburn. The two track and field stars and training partners are aiming for gold when they compete in August at the XXXI Olympiad in Rio.</p>

<p>BBA has been responsible for developing and promoting new professional master’s degrees at ����ֱ�� Boulder for both on-campus and distance students. These services will now be expanded to all graduate education. With this move, the Graduate School will also be responsible for developing ����ֱ�� Boulder’s Massive Open Online Courses, known as MOOCs.</p>

<p>For Patrick Cruz, studying archaeological sites in southern ����ֱ�� and northern New Mexico this summer was a way to hone his skills. But the trip also allowed Cruz, a ����ֱ�� Boulder archaeology graduate student, to retrace the journey his Tewa ancestors made centuries ago.</p>

<p>This summer, faculty and staff from across campus participated in the first-ever Student Affairs Service Days. Seventy participants volunteered with four local organizations over three different days, donating 246 hours of their time.</p>

<p>No summer slowdown exists for the <a href="http://www.colorado.edu/odece/">Office of Diversity, Equity, and Community Engagement</a> (ODECE). In partnership with academic departments across campus, ODECE hosts more than 1,500 middle and high school students, and soon-to-be freshmen in a variety of summer pre-collegiate programming.</p>

<p><span>With interests as diverse as the countries where they'll be located, five ����ֱ�� Boulder graduate students or alumni have been awarded Fulbright grants to pursue teaching, research and graduate studies for the 2016-17 academic year. </span>The recipients and their destination countries are: Christine Avena, Switzerland; Evan Coles-Harris, China; Ben Lourie, Russia; Elaine Proulx, Mexico; and Xi Wang, China.</p>

<p>At this year’s ����ֱ�� Shakespeare Festival, audiences at “The Comedy of Errors” will be wooed back to 1920s Paris by the costumes, the set and of course, an onstage minstrel and her accordion. Because after all, what would summer be without the whimsical sound of the accordion? For Alicia Baker, the answer to that question is simple: it just wouldn’t be summer.</p>

<p>Continuing a tradition established in 2012, ����ֱ��-Boulder faculty members, students and staff presented at the 2016 Denver Comic Con and its associated literary conference, Page 23. Members of ����ֱ��-Boulder’s media studies and English departments presented on topics such as gender representation in popular media, action figure culture and the racial politics in recent Superman comics.</p>
