Welcome to Mission 1477, YEBO’s statewide storytelling initiative centering and celebrating the voices of people in our communities. The theme of this Mixtape is “Friends,” stories about unity and camaraderie. Our partner for this installment is the Metro Classroom To Career Hub, which intentionally integrates post-graduate activities related to careers or graduate school into all aspects of the MSU Denver Roadrunner experience.
