How you can give back

Annual Roadrunners Give Back Day set for April 26. Here’s how to get involved.

March 5, 2018

Join us for MSU Denver’s annual Roadrunners Give Back Day on April 26. It’s an institutionwide day of volunteerism aimed to help transform the lives of our students, and the communities where students, faculty, staff and alumni work, live, play and conduct their academic endeavors.

For the 2018 Roadrunners Give Back Day, 16-18 projects are being developed with several nonprofits and community organizations that will allow MSU Denver employees to serve together and help address needs including food insecurity, hunger, youth interaction, school and neighborhood refurbishment, supporting veterans and more.

MSU Denver faculty and staff will be given four hours of release time to participate and also are encouraged to volunteer together to team-build outside the office. Snacks and T-shirts will be provided for all participants. Morning and afternoon shifts are available.

Interested participants can get more project information and register at events.msudenver.edu/rgbd2018.
