What a night! 🎉

We came together to celebrate two incredible milestones: the successful completion of the Roadrunners Rise Campaign and 60 years of MSU Denver changing lives through education.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, alumni, community partners and supporters, we've surpassed our $100 million fundraising goal and strengthened opportunities for current and future Roadrunners.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate the people, stories and impact that have defined the last 60 years — and the bright future ahead.

Here's to the next generation of Roadrunners rising.
