Imagine how evidence-based research drives education reform

If you were a student in the Denver Public Schools between 2008 and 2019, you may not have realized it at the time, but you were likely benefiting from the most comprehensive and effective education reform initiative in the history of the United States. You were learning more than students in other comparable Colorado school districts, and you were more likely to graduate within four years than students from previous years. This held true regardless of your ethnicity and if you were part of a historically underserved population. Moreover, the improved learning outcomes you experienced during that period are destined to have a lasting impact on your life and almost certainly on your children’s lives as well. 

How does CU utilize texting for fundraising?

The University of Colorado hosts text message campaigns designed for fundraising, event invitations and stewardship. All campaigns comply with legal, contractual and institutional guidelines. Here is more information:

  • Text campaigns are managed in partnership with the System Team.
  • Messages include the university’s name and opt-out instructions.
  • Recipients will not receive more than one campaign message per month or one general text per quarter.
  • Texts are only sent between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. in the recipient's local time zone.
  • All opt-out and data update requests must be honored and recorded with the appropriate university department.
  • Active students are not contacted without approval, per FERPA guidelines.
  • Only U.S. residents are contacted, following state and federal regulations.
  • Campaigns respect do-not-call and do-not-solicit preferences.
  • Text message data, including opt-outs and responses, are logged for compliance and reporting.
