Local Involvement
建立联系——为了区别
The inventive spirit of the Rocky Mountain West inspires us to accomplish great things for our students, 我们的地区和世界. We're proud to be a part of a city as diverse and vibrant as Denver, and we work closely with surrounding communities to solve problems together. Our law clinics support the needs of veterans and protect the environment, and students from our Four Corners Social Work program work with Native communities to advocate for the welfare and education of Native American children. We've also created a contemporary art gallery and an anthropology museum for artists and scholars exploring underexposed themes and perspectives, and our Rocky Mountain Land Use Institute develops plans to conserve and protect Colorado's green spaces.
当我们与本地区的人民和组织合作时, everyone benefits from a shared sense of cultural and intellectual vibrancy. We advance student and faculty research to strengthen and enrich our local and global communities. Our students continue to draw on their skills and knowledge as they face the most pressing challenges of our time. Join us and discover the inspiration that drives us to create change for the greater good.
