What is the C2 Hub?
The Classroom to Career (C2) Hub is an innovative collection of career exploration and development resources designed to help students connect their classroom learning to career ready skills and to purposefully meet the workforce needs of Colorado. The C2 Hub represents a comprehensive approach to career development by intentionally supporting the integration of experiential and preparatory activities, related to career or graduate school, in all aspects of the MSU Denver Roadrunner experience.

The Classroom to Career (C2) Hub is striving to ensure that you are supported in guiding students and community partners through the numerous ways to engage in a student’s career development along their journey here at MSU Denver.
