Community College of Denver’s (CCD) Engineering Momentum: STEM Core program offers to underserved and underrepresented students, including minorities, women, and veterans. The program’s primary goal? To prepare students for Calculus within a year, setting them up for long-term success in math and engineering.

The start of a new year can be stressful. Here are some of general resources and things to know to have a successful semester... besides what time your first class is!

Community College of Denver was the only community college that was invited to participate, which seemingly played a large part in their success. Jacob and Lynae, along with two other CCD students, did not disappoint as CityHawks!

Beginning at 7:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 22, 2024, all institutions on the Auraria Campus (Auraria Higher Education Center, Metropolitan State University Denver, University of Colorado Denver, and Community College of Denver) will begin reopening campus.

For CCD, this means we will return to fully remote operations for our Auraria Campus employees. I encourage everyone to stay connected through our online platforms and utilize the resources available to support your continued learning and work responsibilities.

With a lack of inter-institutional and inter-agency coordination and the magnitude of a national disruption that included the Auraria Campus, moving to remote operations was a necessary step to prioritize your health and security.

Community College of Denver wholeheartedly supports our community members’ right to peacefully assemble and protest, including at the recent demonstration on the Tivoli Quad. Auraria Campus institutions are deeply committed to healthy civic debate and freedom of expression.

This occurred as Dr. Angie Paccione, Colorado Department of Higher Education’s Chief Executive Officer, met with protest leaders to hear their concerns. During that discussion, protesters stated their demands and once again threatened to disrupt commencements.

Protestors have informed campus leadership of their plans to continue protest activities, including disrupting commencement celebrations. To help ensure our college community remains safe, the Community College of Denver will continue remote learning and operations for the week.

While we recognize that college campuses are traditionally safe havens for civic engagement, freedom of expression should not come at the expense of respect for one another and must adhere to campus policies.
