Day of Giving
Join fellow Roadrunners for the ninth annual MSU Denver Day of Giving on March 20! Day of Giving is a way for alumni, faculty, staff, students and community members to provide Roadrunners with the resources they need to rise to reach their goals in the classroom, in their careers and as leaders in their communities.
Last year, 1,500 donors helped raise nearly $270,000 to support scholarships, special projects, student-support services, athletics, student clubs/organizations and more. Roadrunner supporters like you help our students rise up and meet their goals!
