The Metropolitan State University of Denver faculty and staff brain trust reaches almost every point on the academic spectrum, and we are always proud to see Roadrunners sharing their knowledge. Each month, the Early Bird highlights a few faculty and staff members who have served as subject-matter experts on timely news topics, providing dynamic perspectives on critical issues.
Here’s a sampling from April:
Jeff Peshut, Finance assistant professor and director of Real Estate, interviewed with Denver7 about whether it’s more difficult for millennials to buy homes compared with previous generations.
Jennifer Helgeson, director of compliance in the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office, interviewed with Denver7 about the number of applications MSU Denver has received so far and its commitment to supporting students through the FAFSA process. A RED story contributed to coverage.

A RED story contributed to the coverage.
