Public Good Celebration
Celebrate student-led impact at the Public Good Celebration!
The Public Good Celebration is an annual event hosted by the Office for Public Good Strategy & Research that recognizes and elevates the signature work DU students have done alongside faculty, staff, and community partners. This event will showcase student projects that address the public good, highlight their impact, development, and future potential.
Through poster presentations and conversations, students will gain valuable professional development experience, articulate the significance of their work, and explore next steps - whether that’s publication, fellowships, or continued community engagement.

Fireside Chats
Fireside Chats was a series centered on discussing topics that affect each of us in our community through engaging panels of academic experts, students, alumni, and community leaders. Each Fireside Chat focused on a different topic with a goal of creating an environment where we listen to each other and share resources, allies, and connections.
