Invest in Liberal and Creative Arts
Research shows courses in the arts, humanities and social sciences prepare students to think critically, communicate effectively, develop new ideas, adapt and contribute in meaningful ways.
At DU, our CAHSS students demonstrate the value and dedication we have to a liberal and creative arts education. Through your support, our students are:
- Using internship grants to work at the Colorado Lieutenant Governor's Office and the Vienna Music Festival.
- Collaborating with faculty and alumni to create, promote and distribute films.
Your support is also transforming the College by empowering faculty.
- The Dean's Fund for Excellence supports the research and creative work of our faculty and enables them to explore the world, test out new theories and ideas and allows faculty to collaborate and innovate across the College.
- The Center for Art Collection Ethics provides post-graduate training opportunities for art museum and trade professionals.
CAHSS programs give students the chance to conduct research in the field alongside faculty whose own research appears in such publications as The Colorado Sun, The Hollywood Reporter, and CPR News.
This Giving Tuesday, Support the Arts at DU
Support DU Students Making & Studying Art!
The DU ART! Research & Travel Fund gives students the rare opportunity to experience the artworks, monuments, and cultural sites they study — up close and in context. Seeing these works in person allows students to move beyond secondhand interpretations to conduct original analysis, uncover new insights, and form their own scholarly conclusions.

Cue the Curtain and Support DU Students in Theatre!
The DU Theatre Artist in Residence Fund is creative initiative aimed at incorporating professional guest artists each year into our department’s productions and courses. This fund provides our students with distinctive and varied teaching experiences from artists outside the Denver area, who spend a quarter in our department directing or designing one of our productions, or teaching our students skills such as choreography, stage combat, and the business of acting.
