To help kick off the fall semester, CU Denver now has a one-stop-shop CU Denver Election website for all things election, public policy discussion, and civic engagement. You can find voter resources, a campus civic engagement calendar, a curated list of CU Denver experts, links to topical CU Denver media coverage, and access to internal trainings and a toolkit for your own civic events.

Civic Campus Events

Campus events—including efforts by schools, colleges, student organizations and an internal brown bag series—will continue to be added to the calendar throughout the fall, so make sure you check back regularly.
 
A few of the highlights you will find along the way are SPA First Friday Events and Election Series, SGA and Auraria Votes voter engagement activities, an internal brown bag series that will include topics around civic engagement and social media guidance, media forensics and AI deepfakes, mis- and disinformation, and more.
 
If you have something you would like included in the calendar, submit an event to the University Events Calendar and include the tag "2024 election”. Please allow up to two business days for your submission to be reviewed.
