🎓 One month ago, we watched the Class of 2026 walk across the stage — and we're still smiling about it.

From Commencement weekend to every moment in between, this past year was one to remember. Thank you to the students, faculty, staff, and community who make SU such a special place to serve.

Congratulations again, Class of 2026. Once an Orange, always an Orange. 🧡🍊

Summer on campus is peaceful — but honestly? We miss you. 🧡

From therapy dog visits at Bird Library to self-defense workshops to seeing familiar faces around campus every day, these photos are a great reminder of why we love what we do.

To everyone enjoying their summer — rest up. We'll see you soon! 😊

What does it mean to chase an authentic life? 🧡

SU DPS recently brought the team together for an all-hands training with University of Denver Professor Corey Ciocchetti — speaker and author of Inspire Integrity: Chase An Authentic Life — for a powerful conversation on leadership, values, and finding balance in the work we do every day.

Investing in our people makes us a stronger team for our community. 💪
