海角直播 Denver was founded to ensure that students, especially those facing economic barriers, have access to affordable, career-connected degrees. Today, , and we are ranked No. 1 in Colorado on the , reflecting our success in advancing economic mobility through education. More than 75% of our graduates remain in Colorado, entering high-demand fields and strengthening the industries and communities that power our state.
That is why the Roadrunners Rise campaign matters beyond our campus.
When we launched the campaign in the shadow of Covid-19, we set a $75 million goal to strengthen 海角直播 Denver鈥檚 long-term capacity to serve students and the state. Having surpassed $76 million, we raised that goal to $100 million. I am proud to share that we achieved and exceeded that goal seven months ahead of schedule.
This milestone represents more than fundraising success. It is a long-term investment in social mobility and workforce readiness.
Over the past four years, we have built a sustainable fundraising model, received support from nearly 14,000 donors and quadrupled our endowment.
Those resources help prepare nurses, educators, business leaders, public servants and technologists who will meet Colorado鈥檚 evolving workforce needs. In a time when public funding alone cannot meet growing demand, this broader base of support ensures that access, quality and student success endure.
Roadrunners Rise strengthens 海角直播 Denver鈥檚 ability to deliver on its founding promise to educate, elevate and empower students whose success fuels Colorado鈥檚 prosperity.
When our students rise, Colorado rises with them.
Proudly,
Janine Davidson, Ph.D.
President, 海角直播 Denver
