The ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ at Boulder Latino Advocacy Committee in conjunction with United Mexican American ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ (UMAS) and the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Student Union will present three events celebrating Chicano History Week next week. Events begin with the 1997 CU-Boulder Bienvenidos Celebration, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., Sept. 17, on the lawn north of Regent Hall. A welcome picnic for new Latino students, the event will feature a taco bar and regional music. Latino students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends are invited to attend.

Editors: Following are new or recently established programs at the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ at Boulder that focus on enhanced opportunities or increased faculty contact for undergraduate students. ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication are returning to campus this fall to find a New Media Center in their midst.

Schools and colleges at the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ at Boulder will receive extra funds to handle a larger-than-expected fall enrollment, according to an announcement by CU-Boulder Chancellor Richard L. Byyny. Although the official fall census will not be taken until Sept. 10, preliminary figures indicate the fall enrollment may top 25,000, including possibly the largest freshman class in CU-BoulderÂ’s history. Freshmen may total as many as 4,220 -- or 40 more than the all-time high set in 1995.

The Hazel Gates Woodruff Cottage, an historical landmark on the CU-Boulder campus, is open this fall after a renovation that restores the buildingÂ’s place in time. The Cottage, formerly known as the WomenÂ’s Studies Cottage No. 1, was built in 1885 to house the first womenÂ’s dormitory on campus. It originally provided dining facilities for 100, sleeping rooms for 12, a bath and an office for the chaperone on the first floor.
