HOPES Program Mission

The Heightening Outcomes for Public benefit Enrolled Students is an MSU Denver program with a mission that seeks to assist students in maintaining their benefit programs, and academic careers (I.e., SNAP, Medicaid, TANF, WIC, etc.) by creating and fostering community as well as providing support services such as personalized case management, academic, and career coaching, or anything that will help them maintain balance in their academic career and personal life.

Program Details:

The HOPES Program is housed under the MSU Denver Student Care Center (Tivoli Room 311).

  • Student Support Services
  • Individualized academic coaching and emotional support
