As soon as the bear was spotted, the university police alerted the students through Twitter. They wrote, "CUPD and @COParksWildlife are expanding the closure area near the UMC due to a bear in the area. Please avoid the UMC south terrace entrance/exit. Vendor service area also closed. Sidewalk remains closed near underpass."

Thank you @COParksWildlife for a quick response and assistance with a bear in the area." They also added, "The bear was relocated by @COParksWildlife and there is no ongoing safety concern. Thank you for your patience as we rerouted pedestrian and vehicle traffic this afternoon!"
