As we all come back together in community this fall, we know that many want to celebrate together while also look for community and supports during this transition to this 'new normal. Therefore, in order to serve the community and help each other feel connected during these times, Community + Values has compiled a list of programs, events, and resources for the DU community.
This list is meant to be focused on how the DU community can engage in a variety of different ways. We hope this list serves as a starting point for connection, conversation, and support.
This page will continually be updated as more information becomes available on events, programs, and resources. We have attempted to gather information on all available resources and events at DU, but if there is something you would like to add to this web page, please email us at CommunityPlusValues@du.edu.
