Welcome to the DU Community!

Over the next quarter, you will hear about hundreds of opportunities to get involved with DU outside the classroom. Pioneer Carnival will feature around 300 student organizations and clubs on our campus. Faculty can connect you with research projects and our campus network can connect you with internships.

Having so many opportunities can be overwhelming! Our suggestion? Pick two —just two. It could be a political club or an internship, Undergraduate Student Government (USG) or a part-time job, a student alliance or club sport. Research shows that if you’re involved with too much, you’ll drop the ball in at least one other area like sleep, stress management, relationships, or academic achievement. Conversely, if you aren’t involved at all, you may feel isolated. So, out of the hundreds of opportunities offered at DU, find just two.

Student activities are only one part of the DU experience. You’ll take about four classes each quarter and every course is an opportunity to engage with our brilliant faculty. It is so important for you to connect with a faculty member over this next year. Go to office hours, ask for input on coursework, and ask for guidance on your how to pursue your interests. Our tip? Find an article related to your coursework, send it to a faculty member in advance, and ask to talk about it! Those conversations can build relationships that may lead to research project opportunities, strong personal letters of recommendation, and perhaps an unexpected friendship. Make sure you initiate this type of relationship with at least one of your professors during this next year. Trust us. It will help you along your way. We challenge you to invite one faculty member to lunch or coffee by the end of your first quarter. They want you to reach out.

It’s also no secret that college can be stressful. Along with finding two opportunities to get involved, and developing a connection with a professor, you have to manage a schedule of events and deadlines. You have to make time for homework, developing friendships, and attending the amazing cultural events you’ll find both on and off campus. We want you to know that asking for help and using University resources like the Health & Counseling Center, Academic Advising, or the Career Center is part of balancing college and being successful. Our advice? Ask for help even when you think you might not need it.

You are now a Pioneer. These next years will help you understand your passions, clarify your dreams, and discover how you want to show up in this world. This journey is not meant to be solitary. Now, you’re part of an entire campus community that wants to help you succeed and pursue your passions. We’re here for you. Use us.

Go Pios!

Lili Rodriguez, Vice Chancellor of Campus Life & Inclusive Excellence (CLIE)Morgan Smith, Undergraduate Student Government (USG) President
