Ten things to do this week. This is a weekly column highlighting events on campus and in Boulder by Samuel Fuller, history major and resident event virtuoso.
Winter is finally back. After our brief reprieve from the cold in January, the snow has returned and the snowshoes are back out in force. Luckily for us, Boulder is well-equipped to deal with winter weather, and therefore there are still plenty of opportunities to enjoy yourself this week.
Whatever your fancy, Boulder is here to accommodate. This week Program Council takes us into space, and the South Asian Student Association takes over the Rec Center with one of the year’s best cultural showcases. If getting out into the Baltic conditions is more to your liking, why not take advantage of CU-Boulder’s fantastic outdoor program.
