University of Colorado at Boulder 2011 Commencement Video

The CU-Boulder senior class of 2011 receives a farewell tribute through this video that played at the commencement ceremony on May 6, 2011 in Folsom Field. Though it is a farewell video, it is not farewell for many of us. We are all forever Buffs and the fond memories of our time here will serve as a constant reminder of why CU-Boulder is so great.

Special Thanks to Dirk Martin, the Senior Class Council Erin Westmoreland-King, Katie Pedroza, BuffVision, Chancellor DiStefano, Haydn Winston, Sarah Adderholt, and the wonderful people of CU and Boulder.

What a JOKE! There is shit for CULTURE at CU to be playing the opening song to The Lion KIng! The campus is ruled by white pretentious (Trustafarians)!! -Urban dictionary.

@ValiantLoverr I agree that may be the CU stereotype, but there is much more the campus has to offer. It's unfair to categorize CU in such a way when I had a completely different experience in my four years there. There are pros and cons to every school and I believe CU's pros far outweigh its cons.

Congratulations!

Thank you for making a video that actually shows CU in an accurate manner. Those who know the school well or are/have been students can truly be proud of such a great school. Everyone who gives us shit based on what Playboy or even the Daily Beast says should get themselves an education that doesn't make them ignorant and judgmental.

Boulder has 5 nobel laureates in the last decade, 4th in the nation with number of astronauts produced, very highly ranked undergraduate and graduate programs, 11 world renowned ski slopes within 3 hours, hugely successful graduates like South Park's Matt Stone and Trey Parker, a gigantic music scene with nationally touring artists, potheads, and a party scene with lots of drinking and drugs. If you don't like these things that's cool. Let the people who want to explore life stay here.

@surfingcali69 for someone who apparently surfs, is from cali, and likes to 69, hating on people who smoke weed doesn't seem appropriate. get into your identity and smoke a bowl

@ValiantLoverr You went to State didn't you? I'm sorry! Or maybe you're just super jealous? Regardless, Brett made an amazing video that gives me chills every time I watch it. Go Buffs!

All of you hating on CU-- you just have no idea what an incredible place this is. I am graduating in May and am so upset to be leaving this amazing place. This brought tears to my eyes when I saw it at last years' commencement, and still gets me today. WE ARE FOREVER BUFFS. GO CU!
