Here at CU Denver, we value expanding horizons. We encourage each and every one of our CU Denver Business School students to study abroad before their time studying with us is over. In an increasingly connected and global society, business expands far beyond US borders. Not only is studying abroad a learning experience, but it is something that will stick with you for a lifetime.

With the end of the semester and the winter holiday season rapidly approaching, we encourage our CU Business School students to spend time giving back to the community surrounding and supporting us. There are a number of opportunities and affiliated programs you can engage in! The following are ways you can spend your time contributing to your community these upcoming months.
