Alumni Advisory Committee

DSF Alum Give Back By Serving on the AAC

September 28, 2023

The Alumni Advisory Committee (AAC) actively promotes and enhances the mission, values, and vision of Denver Scholarship Foundation (DSF). The AAC is comprised of former DSF Scholars, now Alumni, who are engaged in growing and strengthening our more extensive DSF Alumni network. The committee empowers DSF Scholars and Alumni to grow professionally while inspiring them to contribute to the Denver community.  

The participation, service, and support of these 13 young professionals propel DSF to continue to help make college possible for Denver students. AAC members contributed 108 hours of service and connected to 133 DSF Alumni in the last academic year. One of the AAC’s contributions was envisioning and piloting the DSF Mentorship Program six years ago. The DSF Mentorship Program encourages DSF Scholars and Alumni to grow professionally while inspiring them to contribute to the Denver community by providing individualized mentorship. Thank you, AAC for being the ambassadors of DSF’s success and ensuring our future leaders continue to succeed.
