SO. MANY. CHAMPIONSHIPS. Our athletes know how to win. DU programs have won 35 NCAA national championships across 18 varsity sports. We’re all familiar with the continued success of our men’s hockey team—who now have the most national championships of any collegiate hockey program at 10—but what you may not know is that our ski team also sits atop the NCAA’s most titles list (24). Visit du.edu/kingsofhockey to relive hockey’s 10 championship titles.

TOP OF MIND As part of a nationwide initiative to protect student mental health called JED Campus, DU is committed to comprehensive, data-driven mental health care. Our Thrive Peer Educators are students who serve as health and well-being “ambassadors” on campus and facilitate Intervene: DU, a required active bystander training for all undergrads. Beyond campus, the Western Colorado MSW program in Glenwood Springs addresses the dire need for mental health providers in rural areas, bringing education and training to where future social workers already reside and making a lasting difference in their communities.
