Family & Community

The office of Orientation, Transfer and Re-Engagement knows how important the role you all play as support systems in our student’s lives.

Mission: We empower families and communities with essential knowledge and skills to foster their student’s success. We do this by building partnerships and providing intentional programming throughout their student’s Roadrunner journey.

Vision: Through partnership and sense of belonging, families and communities foster student success at MSU Denver.
