Dear Friends of Johnson & Wales University:

campus presidentWelcome to the Denver Campus of Johnson & Wales University (JWU)!  Our faculty and staff are working to ensure that students have the ‘best university experience in Colorado’—an educational experience that is marked by all the advantages of a large university nestled on a cozy campus of 1500 students. 

If you are looking for an education that combines a career focus with hands-on learning, and you are highly motivated toward career success, we may be the right university for you. You can be confident that your education at JWU will help you acquire the skills, knowledge, and leadership experience you’ll need for a lifetime of meaningful and life-sustaining career options. And we know that many of our students become significant role models in their communities, helping to make their professional and personal lives richer.  

Yes, the university focuses on your education and your career future, but there’s more. We create the climate for transformation—a climate where your leadership abilities, your service to others, and your aspirations have a chance to grow.   

Sometimes we push you, sometimes we pull you—but we are always invested in your growth as a successful professional.

The education at JWU is a partnership between the student, the university, and employers. It is meant to move you to a new place—to encourage you to graduate as a wiser, kinder, smarter person. If this is the education you are looking for, if this is the education that will matter to you and your family, I welcome you.

Please feel free to read my monthly e-newsletter, The Peak.

Warmly,
Bette Matkowski
Denver Campus President
