The Auraria Campus is a dynamic and vibrant higher education community located in the heart of downtown Denver. The 150-acre campus is shared by three separate and distinct institutions of higher learning: Community College of Denver, Metropolitan State University of Denver, and University of Colorado Denver. The collective student population is approximately 42,000, with an additional 5,000 faculty and staff.

 

Find your Auraria Campus community! We support efforts to help all Auraria Campus students connect and engage as one campus community. The Auraria Festival committee includes members from Community College of Denver Student Programming, Activities and Resource Center (SPARC), Metropolitan State University of Denver Center for Multicultural Engagement and Inclusion (CMEI), and University of Colorado Denver Campus Activities. We look forward to engaging with you during one of our Auraria campus events in the future.
