Give Back and Support the Success of Future Lynx

Connect

Alumni play a critical role in the student experience and success at CU Denver. Volunteering is a great way to promote your company or organization, recruit world-class talent, support your alma mater, and—most importantly—make a difference in the lives of our students. Your opportunities to get involved include connecting with current students, fellow alumni, and the CU Denver campus.

The CU at the Table program is an opportunity for alumni, faculty, and staff to meaningfully engage with current students in an informal setting by inviting students to a hosted meal during the month of November. CU Denver has a significant population of international students and CU at the Table is one way the university seeks to provide an outlet for this group to more deeply connect with the university.

Give Back. Get Help. Improve Outcomes.

Micro-Internships

Give back to your alma mater and mentor current students by hiring them for Micro-Internships at your company. They’ll build their network and you’ll help shape the next generation of young alumni!

CU Denver is excited to announce a new opportunity for alumni to offer short-term, professional, paid work experiences to current students through Micro-Internships. Through Micro-Internships, students can demonstrate their skills, explore career paths, and develop their professional networks.

Unlike a traditional internship, these paid opportunities typically range from 5 to 40 hours of work, and many can be completed remotely. Not only does this help the students, but it allows alumni to get immediate support and enhance their company’s pipeline for future interns and new hires.

This opportunity is not limited to the Denver or even Colorado area so get your Micro-Internship listed now to get help with projects from highly qualified CU Denver students and recent graduates.
