James C. Kennedy Mountain Campus To Welcome University Of Denver Students Next Fall

DENVER (CBS4)- University of Denver students will soon have the chance to attend classes at a new mountain campus. DU announced on Tuesday the purchase of 724 acres in Larimer County.

The new James C. Kennedy Mountain Campus is named in honor of a billionaire DU alumnus. He donated $26 million to buy the land and kickstart programming on campus.

DU hopes to start classes, retreats and research trips for students and staff as early as next fall.
