Fall colors are officially in full force on campus this week, a welcome sight after the snowy scene that decorated campus last Monday.

Boulder was unusually rainy last week, and the gloomy weather continued into Monday, but the Flatirons occasionally still managed to peek through the clouds as seen in this photo taken Sept. 28.

On Saturday Sept. 16 it was finally feeling like fall in Boulder as the Colorado Buffaloes hosted University of Northern Colorado pulling off a 41-21 win.

The school year is back in full swing.

As of August 2017, five individual buffaloes have served as Ralphie, including the incumbent, 11-year-old Blackout. What do you know about each?

Buffs can't hide their excitement at the Rocky Mountain Showdown.

Ralphie I may have looked small when she arrived in Boulder, but she was mighty.

Madalyn Kern's company, ReForm, is developing a low-cost, adjustable prosthetic socket for amputees.

Drew Litton has immortalized Ralphie in numerous cartoons over the years. Here's one of his latest, specially commissioned for the Coloradan.
