Student-athlete alumni study aims to assess, improve health and wellness

How have former CU Boulder student-athletes fared long-term compared to Buffs who didn’t play sports in college? What’s the university doing right to support their lasting health and wellness? And what could it and other collegiate programs do better? These are the questions CU Boulder research faculty and the Athletic Department will set out to answer this summer, via a first-of-its-kind study of 2,000 alumni who graduated during the past quarter-century.
