Who We Are

The Strategy Driving CU Denver’s Brand and Identity

The work we do at CU Denver is vital. Our welcoming and entrepreneurial approach—and the impact of our teaching, research and innovation—are purposeful and far-reaching. Our brand encapsulates this and provides a platform for expressing it through a unified voice, distinct narrative, and consistent visual vocabulary.
