Buffalo Chip: С�� Boulder, Sweet Cow serve up a sweet celebration Megan M Rogers Sun, 04/12/2026 - 06:51

What is black and gold and sweet all over?

Meet Buffalo Chip—С�� Boulder’s first-ever officially licensed ice cream flavor, created in partnership with Colorado favorite Sweet Cow.

Launched April 6 at all seven Sweet Cow locations across Boulder, Denver and beyond, Buffalo Chip is more than just dessert—it’s a celebration of С�� Boulder’s 150th anniversary. The flavor was crafted with input from students and alumni, blending nostalgia and innovation into one delicious scoop.

So, what’s inside? A rich brown sugar butter ice cream swirled with dark chocolate and butterscotch chips. The black-and-gold chip combination is a nod to С��’s iconic colors, where the butterscotch honors 150 years of history and the dark chocolate adds a bold, modern twist. In short: It’s Buff pride in a cone.

MooMobile on campus April 14

The Sweet Cow MooMobile will be at Koenig Alumni Center (1202 University Ave.) from noon until 4 p.m. on Tuesday, April 14, serving $1.50 scoops.

“Buffalo Chip is a joyful, delicious tribute to С�� Boulder’s 150-year story,” said Chancellor Justin Schwartz. “It reflects the creativity of our students, the dedication of our alumni and the deep connections that make this university such a vital part of Colorado.”

The partnership is personal for Sweet Cow founder Drew Honness, a С�� Boulder history alum who got his start scooping ice cream as a student. Today, Sweet Cow is a Colorado staple, known for its long lines, signature stickers and community vibe. Many Buffs have worked at Sweet Cow over the last 16 years, making this collaboration a natural fit.

And here’s the sweetest part: A portion of Buffalo Chip sales will support С�� Boulder scholarships, helping future students chase their dreams. The flavor is also joining Sweet Cow’s lineup of 10 core flavors, complete with a custom black-and-gold menu placard.

“Being able to create a flavor that celebrates С��’s 150th anniversary and gives back to students feels like everything coming full circle,” Honness said. “We hope Buffalo Chip becomes a favorite for Buffs everywhere.”

There's a new ice cream flavor in town! Buffalo Chip is a black-and-gold scoop celebrating С��'s 150 years and supporting student scholarships. Try a $1.50 scoop on April 14, when the MooMobile stops by campus.

New campus sustainability framework unveiled at С�� Boulder Climate Week event Megan M Rogers Fri, 04/10/2026 - 14:50

The second annual Colorado Climate Week, which took place May 30–April 3, brought together leaders across the state to explore solutions, partnerships and bold ideas shaping the future of climate action and innovation. On April 1, С�� Boulder hosted a full day of panels, presentations and discussions at the Limelight Hotel Boulder in partnership with event organizer Colorado Cleantech Industries Association.

A guiding framework for С�� Boulder’s sustainability future

Chancellor Justin Schwartz opened the day by introducing С�� Boulder’s new sustainability strategic framework, an ambitious roadmap that connects education, research, operations and partnerships into a unified approach to sustainability leadership.

During his remarks, the chancellor noted, “Education, research, operations and partnerships are interconnected and reinforcing. That’s the vision С�� Boulder is preparing to achieve. It is ambitious but grounded in the work already underway and in the people who make it possible.”

Both the event and the strategic framework build on С�� Boulder’s ongoing momentum in the sustainability space and the university's efforts to expand its sustainability work in ways that benefit the campus community, Boulder and Colorado.

Vice Chancellor for Sustainability Andrew Mayock said, “This event reflects С�� Boulder’s deep commitment to advancing climate and sustainability solutions through collaboration. We were joined on the stage by top private, public and nonprofit leaders from across the state on the most pressing issues, including artificial intelligence, wildfire, climate-related economic impacts, community rights, climate tech innovation and more. We were grateful to be joined by hundreds of audience members, including Boulder residents, state and local officials, investors, students, faculty and the broader Colorado community.”

Moving the needle with conversation and partnership

The day featured a series of panels and discussions that explored the intersection of technology, policy and investment in climate solutions.

A standout moment was the session with Seth Levine, partner and co-founder of Foundry, who offered insights into how evolving models of capitalism are shaping climate innovation.

The day included separate policy discussions with Democratic candidates Attorney General Phil Weiser and Sen. Michael Bennet on their respective climate-related visions for the state going forward. Gov. Jared Polis and Congressman Joe Neguse closed out the day by highlighting the critical role of public leadership in accelerating climate action.

The event concluded with a lively networking reception, where students, researchers, policymakers and industry leaders connected and continued conversations sparked throughout the day.

A statewide effort, a shared future

Now in its second year, Colorado Climate Week reflects the state’s growing reputation as a hub for climate innovation and partnership. С�� Boulder’s leadership, and its newly launched sustainability framework, positions the university at the center of this momentum.

Through continued collaboration across disciplines and sectors, the discussions shared on April 1 signals not just talk but a commitment to action.
