Campus Guide

The Evans Chapel

This beautiful century-old sandstone chapel, constructed in 1878, is listed in the National Registry of Historic Places. The historic Evans Chapel was moved, brick-by-brick, from its original downtown location at 13th and Bannock to its current location in the center of Harper Humanities Gardens, the heart of campus, in 1960. The move was a popular decision made by the late Chancellor Emeritus Chester M. Alter. Today the Evans Chapel is surrounded by flower gardens, waterfalls and pools.

“I’m most proud of our students,” says Chancellor Robert Coombe. “If we keep turning out people like these, we really are going to change the world.”

Q:  How does DU’s vision to be a “great private university dedicated to the public good” support our educational mission?

The DU Career Center is a resource to help your student navigate the career development process. Preparing for your student’s future career is an ongoing process, not a one time event. Your student should plan to meet with a career counselor at least once each year to keep moving toward his or her career goals.

Below is a year-by-year guideline of what students could be exploring at the Career Center:

FIRST YEAR

• Explore majors and careers
• Schedule an introductory appointment with a career counselor

The University of Denver is committed to minimizing traffic and pollution in and around campus. DU encourages students use alternate transportation options. To help promote these transportation options, the University established the Transportation Center – a one-stop shop for information about alternatives to driving alone.

The transportation Center is located at 2130 S. High Street on the west side of the Evans Ave. Parking Structure., at the garage entrance. They can be found online at http://www.du.edu/transcenter/.

2008-2009 RTD “College Pass” For DU Students

College is one of the most exciting times in your student’s life. It will be a time of great change and growth. Students will be pushing themselves not only intellectually, but also socially. The staff of the Office of Campus Activities wants your student to have the best possible collegiate experience. We understand that a big part of that will depend on your student’s involvement and participation BEYOND the classroom.
