Denver Alumni
Many of our alumni have elected to remain in Denver and across the Front Range longterm. This group regularly hosts events, enhances opportunities for alumni and guides current students toward viable job prospects.
Many of our alumni donate their time to our Dine & Dialogue program, a conversational lunch that serves as a valuable learning opportunity for current students. By speaking with professionals and leaders in the field, students can envision their own professional paths and receive advice on how to turn aspirations into reality.
Korbel Opportunity Fund
Alumni also generously donate to the Korbel Opportunity Fund, a new benefit that provides need-based scholarship support to historically underrepresented students and international Korbel graduate students. Gifts of all amounts are appreciated.

We offer a variety of opportunities for professional development, including help with your resume, cover letter and interview tactics.
