The University of Denver is honored to join the STARS Network and contribute to the outstanding work of this consortium, ensuring more rural and small town students have access to a college education. DU is a private university dedicated to the public good, and actively cultivates partnerships with local and global communities to promote access to higher education. DU will participate in STARS programs across the country, but our focus will be on Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region as we endeavor to support and recruit vibrant and intellectually motivated students who will thrive at and graduate from the University Denver.
