Get Involved
"Friends, fun, and a job. I have them all thanks to getting involved with Leeds!"
—Sam Battan (BS '11), Leeds Council, Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organizaitons, Alpha Kappa Psi
The Leeds Student Involvement Center can introduce you to lots of business-related and social organizations that will help you develop a home here at the business school. Our goal is to connect you to an event or club at Leeds where you can find students with similar interests.
If nothing exists in the area that you are interested in, we will help you connect with other students with similar interests to start a club. We can support you the entire way, from brainstorming, obtaining funding, finding a faculty/staff sponsor, to navigating the paperwork involved.
Getting involved is easy: send us an email at leedsinv@colorado.edu, and let us know your class year, your major, and your interest or question.
Student groups can help you:
- Meet students like yourself
- Develop your leadership skills
- Connect you to faculty or staff you might otherwise not interact with
- Figure out the aspect of business you enjoy the most
- Provide an outlet for your interests
- Prepare for a career
Areas of common interest at Leeds include:
- Multicultural activities
- Diversity
- Public speaking
- Community service
- Women in business
- International business
- Peer mentorship
- Sustainability
- Entertainment/Media
- Sports
- Healthcare
- Technology

You will be assigned an upper-class Leeds mentor who will work with you the summer before you get on campus and the duration of your entire first semester. They'll give you helpful hints on how to do well in class, how to survive dorm food, how to not get lost on the Boulder bus system ... you get the drift. Your mentor will also help you get involved at Leeds and introduce you to their favorite Leeds staff and professors.
