Who We Are

CACE creates learning environments that actively engage and empower students by offering support and resources that enhance their educational experience at CU Denver.

What We Do

We address opportunity gaps in higher education by implementing research-based programs and high-impact practices designed to increase educational success for all CU Denver students.

In Spring 2025, CACE formally shifted from identity-centered to identity-conscious pedagogy, centering educational outcomes while still honoring the full range of student identities.

Student Organization Funding Request

CACE provides funding to student organizations to support student events, programs and activities on campus.

Our goal is to support undergraduate students at CU Denver by helping create learning experiences outside the classroom. We offer resources that encourage student involvement, leadership development, and campus participation.

Student organizations may request funding to help plan and host events or programs that engage students and contribute to the campus experience.

CACE events, programs, and services are open to all CU Denver students. All are invited and encouraged to participate and live our inclusive values.
