Throughout the school year, activities that encourage school spirit and develop student leadership may be offered. The College believes that participation in these activities is an important part of the educational process and student involvement is encouraged.
Denver College of Nursing provides annual funding to support various extra-curricular and co-curricular activities for students. These include a chapter of the National Student Nurses Association, the Global Heath Perspectives program, and other Denver College of Nursing Student Associations that arise. These groups provide various community service opportunities such as volunteering and participating in local and national charities, participating in charity sponsored walks/races, hosting annual blood drives, and hosting food/clothing drives. These groups also facilitate various social activities for students held on campus and around neighboring businesses.
