UCCS students have big dreams: to prepare for impactful careers, pursue life‑changing experiences and make positive contributions to their communities. To fully pursue those ambitions, they rely on the breadth of opportunities that define a UCCS education—from innovative programs and hands-on experiences to resources that spark creativity, leadership, entrepreneurship and well-being.
That’s where you make the difference.
On April 9, the UCCS community will unite for Carry the Light, our annual spring giving day. This one-day event supports scholarships, programs and resources that help students thrive and carry the light of UCCS into the world.
Please join us on April 9. Every gift helps remove barriers, strengthen transformative programs and open doors for students to explore and excel.
