At CU Denver, there is no shortage of ways to celebrate the new academic year. Over the last two weeks, students got to know each other and our university by exploring campus, attending classes, and participating in events. Family members and loved ones moved new students into City Heights and Lynx Crossing residence halls. We took over Lawrence Street for CU Denver’s annual Block Party—and more!
There’s nothing better than seeing our campus community come together to share laughs and make memories, so we compiled photos from some of the big and small moments from our fall 2026 welcome activities.
And the fun isn’t over, yet. Be sure to check the campus activities page so you don’t miss out on the events still to come. For more photos, check our Moment of the Week posts on the first day of classes and residence hall move-in days.
