Since the start of LYNX UP in 2017, generous donors have contributed more than $18 million for scholarships. Faculty and staff alone have contributed more than $1.5 million of this amount by participating in the LYNX UP Challenge.
On February 28, the CU Denver Business School hosted more than 60 attendees in the newly opened Jake Jabs Event Center to celebrate donors at their annual scholarship luncheon.
At the second annual CU Denver Scholars Community Dinner Dec. 5, campus leaders honored these students for their accomplishments at the university and in the community. They were joined by roughly 120 current scholarship recipients, as well as members of eight local scholarship programs.
The Celebration of CU in the City is one of the more visible ways in which the university expresses its appreciation to its many donors and recognizes the impact of their philanthropic support.
