Stay in Touch and Skip the FOMO: 5 Reasons to Update Your Contact Info
The fear of missing out (FOMO) is something many of us experience during life’s big transitions. FOMO could occur from missing out on Homecoming events, not taking advantage of exclusive alumni benefits or losing touch with close friends from CU Boulder.
Luckily, you can avoid FOMO as you prepare to graduate and enter the next phase of your life. Update your contact information to ensure you don’t miss out on a single part of your Buffs post-grad experience.
Here are a few reasons why you should stay in the loop. No FOMO around here!
1️⃣ You’re invited!
The fun doesn’t stop after graduation. Homecoming, Alumni Weekend, summer festivities and more happen throughout the year, and you’re invited to it all! CU Boulder alumni events are packed with excitement — whether it’s a reunion, networking meetups or even the classic Folsom Field football game. Keep your info updated to hear about alumni events. Plus, your five-year reunion will come sooner than you think!
2️⃣ Level up your career
CU Boulder is still here to help even after you graduate, especially as you navigate the highs and lows of starting your career. The university offers plenty of resources to help you land that dream job, including career fairs, networking events and workshops. Did you know that alumni get two free career consultations every year? If you stay in touch, you’ll also get notifications about career opportunities tailored specifically for alumni.
3️⃣ Exclusive benefits and Buffs perks
Buffs love a good deal! Updating your contact info means you’ll be aware of exclusive perks like special discounts, access to university resources and continuing education programs. You’ll also receive special alumni-only offers, which could save you some cash. From museum passes to early bird event discounts, you don’t want to miss out on these benefits.
4️⃣ Stay in the know
This past year, CU Boulder welcomed a new chancellor, Travis Hunter won the Heisman Award and alumni astronaut Sarah Gillis was the first person to play the violin in space. With exciting stories constantly coming out of CU Boulder, you’ll want to be in the know as your alma mater continues to evolve and impress.

Last but not least, we know the thing you’ll miss most about CU Boulder is the incredible connections you made during your time here.
