Did we see you around in recent days? The week in photos and video brought glimpses of open studios with CU Boulder art students, highlights from this year's Conference on World Affairs and goat yoga with The Rec.

Scene at CU is a weekly series, a look back at happenings and stories among the campus community, captured in visuals. See, watch and take in the moments. You might catch a glimpse of a thrilling event, a grand celebration, the culmination of an achievement, a subtle beauty among our surroundings, the flux of seasons, a quiet observance, a community connection and more.

Goat yoga with The Rec

On Tuesday, campus community members hit the yoga mats with baby goats, an event intended to connect participants with nature and their own inner kid.


 

Admitted Student Day

Last week nearly 2,000 students and their families attended Admitted Student Day to explore everything CU Boulder has to offer. They toured the campus and residence halls, listened to sample lectures, learned more about their majors and more! This fun-filled day helps admitted students decide if they are #BoulderBound.
