Support the Kennedy Mountain Campus
Giving to the Kennedy Mountain Campus
The Kennedy Mountain Campus was made possible by a generous gift from James C. Kennedy because he shared in the vision to add an intentional set of outdoor experiences for students at DU. As a DU student in the late 60s, Mr. Kennedy spent many weekends in the Rocky Mountains, hiking, biking, skiing, hunting, fishing, and camping. These moments in the mountains set the stage for his lifelong commitment to the outdoors, a conservation ethic, and the values of being outdoors for one’s well-being.
Mr. Kennedy’s visionary gift allowed DU to acquire the property in 2021 and launch programming in 2022. Your gift to the Kennedy Mountain Campus Fund helps us secure this vision and legacy for generations of DU students.
