The ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ at Boulder's annual fall break is on Oct. 10 and Oct. 11.
All campus buildings will remain open during the break. The break was initiated in 2000 to give students a breather during what otherwise would be 12 weeks of continuous classes between Labor Day and Thanksgiving.
Student leaders from the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Student Union originally proposed the fall break in 1998 as a way to split up the long stretch of full class weeks. ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ were pleased in 1999 when the proposal was approved.
Fall break is now held the first or second Thursday and Friday of October every year.
