About the Event
U Prep Founders’ Farewell – Celebrating the Class of 2028
More than a decade ago, 50 five-year-olds joined us as founding scholars of University Prep at our Arapahoe St. campus. Fast forward thirteen years to today, and those incredible ‘little people’ are on the cusp of high school graduation. Join us in celebrating this momentous occasion in our organization’s history on Wednesday, May 15th from 8:00 – 9:30 AM. Our Founders’ Farewell is a chance to uplift and celebrate our alumni as they pursue a range of inspiring post-secondary pathways.
As a focal point of the morning, you’ll hear first-hand from our guests of honor, the graduates themselves, what U Prep has meant to their educational journey and where their dreams will take them post-graduation. The event will also celebrate the future of U Prep and each of the graduating classes to come, as we ensure our youngest scholars are on a trajectory for a life of opportunity, filled with unlimited choices because of the foundation they build at U Prep.

Attire
Break out your college gear and rep your alma mater!
College Gear:
Given our scholars have been “climbing the mountain to college” since their very first day when we shook hands at the front door, we would love to elevate the ‘college-prep’ culture of our organization through your attire the night of the event. Please plan to keep it casual and rock your college gear. We want your alma maters to be represented across the room as we celebrate the post-secondary choices our alumni are making in their transition to collegiate, technical and certificate programs.
U Prep Gear/Colors:
If college gear isn’t your thing, no worries, rock anything U Prep branded or sport our favorite color – royal blue.
Dress Recommendation:
Smart Casual (aka, jeans/slacks and a nice top) – Make the room bright, fun and festive!
