“The University of Denver has proven to be the perfect fit for me, especially as a veteran. The ease with which veterans and military members can make use of their benefits here is outstanding. Having a number of veteran resources here on campus, as well as peers in the same situation, has made my transition to the civilian world exciting and stress free. I am a proud veteran, and now I am also a proud DU Pioneer!” – Rob Roybal, Denver MBA, 2017
