Let the Good Times Roam
Homecoming Weekend Returns Nov. 2–4
One of Maribeth Hite’s (CommThtr’73) favorite memories from her time at CU Boulder is the peaceful walk home to University Hill after late nights at theater rehearsals.
“I remember walking the campus without fear,” she said. “I never felt any worries — CU was a place of safety and happiness for all four years.”
This fall, Hite will return to campus for her 50th reunion, joining Forever Buffs from around the world at Homecoming — one of CU Boulder’s most treasured traditions.
The celebrations include the annual Alumni Awards ceremony, the popular Buffs on Tap event featuring Buff-owned breweries and wineries, a chance to learn about the history of beer from a CU Boulder lecturer and beer archeologist — and, of course, the chance to see the Buffaloes take on Oregon State, led by Coach Prime. .
After a three-year pandemic hiatus, the Homecoming class reunion committee has also reconvened to welcome back the classes of 1973 and 1983 for their 50th and 40th reunions. Both classes will celebrate alongside members of the Golden Anniversary Club, which includes Forever Buffs who graduated in 1973 or earlier.
For committee member Zach McNeal (ElEngr’83), who’ll be celebrating his 40th reunion this fall, it’s a chance to reconnect with his classmates and the rest of the CU Boulder community — and be reminded of what it means to be a Forever Buff.
Said McNeal, “It’s about being a part of a family tradition that will live on: the Buffs!”
