Stampede Leadership Camp

Stampede Leadership Camp is a three-day pre-arrival experience for incoming students living within the residence halls. Incoming CU students might find the first few weeks of college intimidating and filled with emotion and nerves. Stampede is an opportunity for incoming students to feel less scared and afraid, and more connected and confident. Through service projects, campus partner presentations, and educational workshops, students are introduced to each other and the campus in a stress-free, welcoming environment. As part of a small group led by a returning student, incoming students gain the advantages of connecting with campus resources, building friendships and exploring campus before other students move-in.ÌýÌý
