“The financial support from donors is vital,” Girard says. “Like during 1Day4DU, when donors give to student organizations — that’s how we can have big events that advance our mission and help students.” One such event was “Women of Wisdom,” which brought together nearly 100 professional alumni and students for mentoring and dialogue. If you feel inspired by Lexi's journey, we hope you'll consider a donation to the 1Day4DU Scholarships project.

A native of Bangladesh who came to the United States to attend DU, Khan says that much of who he is today, both professionally and personally, is because of his experience at DU. The academic landscape at DU, he says, gave him a deep understanding of concepts like finance that would play a significant role in his career. “I didn’t even know that Wall Street existed before coming to DU,” Khan says, who later made a name for himself on that very street. If you feel inspired by Imran's story of paying it forward to the next generation of DU students and future alumni, we hope you'll consider making a gift to support Scholarships on 1Day4DU.
