University of the Rockies, a leading graduate school focused on social and behavioral studies, announced it will continue its partnership with the Downtown Denver Partnership (DDP). The University will sponsor the DDP as a gold sponsor in 2016.

Each year, the Downtown Denver Leadership Program is assigned a project related to the downtown Denver area and participants are tasked with reporting a solution back to the organization. Through educational sessions, leadership strategy studies, and valuable networking opportunities with colleagues and panelists, the DDP is striving to create the Downtown Denver of the future.

“We are grateful for University of the Rockies and its continued investment in Downtown Denver through sponsorship of the Downtown Denver Partnership and our Downtown Denver Leadership Program,” says Jim Kirchheimer, DDP senior vice president of member experience. “Initiatives like the Downtown Denver Leadership Program can have a transformational impact on our city center, and we thank our community partners for supporting our success.”
