What started with a bag of beans turned into a 10-year connection — and now, a board seat.

The is a Denver nonprofit that helps women facing barriers to employment build job skills, confidence and a path toward a brighter future.

MSU Denver alumnus Logan Fry (’21) first discovered the organization while shopping for Christmas gifts with his wife. More than a decade later, his connection to its mission has led him to the organization’s Board of Directors.

Logan will bring his experience in government relations and public policy to help the Women’s Bean Project continue its work in our community.

We love seeing Roadrunners turn the things they care about into meaningful impact. Congratulations, Logan!
